The patch definitely did the trick for me. So Tested-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk> can be certainly added. *** Bug 738010 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The patch in my DUPE ought to be in a marginally more acceptble format (diff -Naur) but in any case this is a trivial one-liner ... grub2-1.99-6.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/grub2-1.99-6.fc16 Package grub2-1.99-6.fc16: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing grub2-1.99-6.fc16' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/grub2-1.99-6.fc16 then log in and leave karma (feedback). I just tested this new package on Fedora Beta RC1 and see that grub2-mkconfig now creates the proper initramfs lines. So, this seems fixed. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. Works now grub2-1.99-6.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Created attachment 517041 [details] While searching initrd files, search initramfs-_kernel_version_.img too Description of problem: grub2-mkconfig generates initramfs-less boot entries for "--class xen" Effect is that XEN kernels are not bootable. /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen searches /boot/initrd-* style files. Unfortunately in Fedora 16 install the files are named /boot/initramfs-*. Thus "--class xen" entries don't have initrd at all. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install xen package on current Fedora 16. 2. Run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg 3. Test if men uentries on /boot/grub2/grub.cfg for XEN include initramfs lines. Actual results: initramfs is not introduced on "--class xen". Trying to boot them fails. Expected results: initramfs is included on "--class xen" menu entries. Booting XEN loads initramfs. Additional info:
