Bug 978036

Created attachment 765284 [details]
Patch for pygrub.

Description of problem:

Note, this looks like bug 745335 but it is not.

Anyhow, when trying to start a guest using 'xl':

[root@tst031 ~]# more test.xm
memory=1024
bootloader="pygrub"
maxmem=2048
maxvcpus = 2
vcpus = 2
name = "F19-32"
vif = [ 'mac=00:0f:4b:01:00:87,bridge=switch' ]
disk= ['phy:/dev/vg_guests/disk,hda,w']
vfb = [ 'vnc=1, vnclisten=0.0.0.0,vncunused=1']

I get:

[root@tst031 ~]# xl create -c test.xm
Parsing config from test.xm
libxl: error: libxl_bootloader.c:628:bootloader_finished: bootloader failed - consult logfile /var/log/xen/bootloader.14.log
libxl: error: libxl_exec.c:118:libxl_report_child_exitstatus: bootloader [4438] exited with error status 1
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:919:domcreate_rebuild_done: cannot (re-)build domain: -3
libxl: error: libxl_dom.c:35:libxl__domain_type: unable to get domain type for domid=14
Unable to attach console
libxl: error: libxl_exec.c:118:libxl_report_child_exitstatus: console child [0] exited with error status 1


[root@tst031 ~]# cat /var/log/xen/bootloader.14.log
Using <class 'grub.GrubConf.Grub2ConfigFile'> to parse /grub2/grub.cfg
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/pygrub", line 865, in <module>
    raise RuntimeError, "Unable to find partition containing kernel"
RuntimeError: Unable to find partition containing kernel


If I use 'virsh' instead:

[root@tst031 ~]# virsh start F19-32
error: Failed to start domain F19-32
error: internal error libxenlight failed to create new domain 'F19-32'



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

The patch titled "pygrub/GrubConf: fix boot problem for fedora 19	grub.cfg (2nd attempt)" (http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-06/msg02348.html) should fix it.



How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install guest (you will run in bug #977987), there is a work-around to use "-x vnc"
2. Boot the PV guest
3.

Actual results:

Parsing config from test.xm
libxl: error: libxl_bootloader.c:628:bootloader_finished: bootloader failed - consult logfile /var/log/xen/bootloader.14.log
libxl: error: libxl_exec.c:118:libxl_report_child_exitstatus: bootloader [4438] exited with error status 1
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:919:domcreate_rebuild_done: cannot (re-)build domain: -3
libxl: error: libxl_dom.c:35:libxl__domain_type: unable to get domain type for domid=14
Unable to attach console
libxl: error: libxl_exec.c:118:libxl_report_child_exitstatus: console child [0] exited with error status 1


Expected results:

A menu of GRUB if using 'xl'
