Description of problem: Grub append does not work with Xen kernel stanza Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Access the GRUB menu during the boot process, to append a kernel message Steps to Reproduce: 1. Power on or reboot system 2. Press a key to access GRUB menu 3. Press "a" to append to the kernel command Actual results: GRUB appends to the xen-gz part of the kernel Expected results: Appending to the actual kernel, e.g. if I enter 1, I should get into that runlevel; if I enter selinux=0, that should disable SELinux. Additional info: The functionality still works, if I press e to edit the Xen-based stanza, and append to the vmlinuz- command line.
This is the correct and desired behavior when running a Xen kernel. The "kernel" part is the xen.gz, and then the "module" is the dom0 kernel, with another "module" for the initrd. All 3 of them can be edited with the 'a' key, just by pressing the up or down arrow to select the right line. I'm going to close this as NOTABUG, unless there is some other problem I'm not understanding. Chris Lalancette
