Description W. Michael Petullo 2011-09-16 15:40:14 UTC 
Description of problem:
I have been testing Fedora 16 Beta RC1's ability to boot Linux in Xen Domain 0. I have found that, in the presence of the Xen hypervisor, grub2-mkconfig creates several extraneous menu entries

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
grub2-1.99-6.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora Beta RC1
2. Install Xen
3. Update to grub2-1.99-6.fc16.x86_64
4. Run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
  
Actual results:
When I reboot, I get the following menu entries:

Fedora Linux, with Linux 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.x86_64
Fedora Linux, with Linux 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.x86_64 (recovery mode)
Xen 4.1
Xen 4.1.1
Xen syms-4.1.1
Xen xen

The Xen entries use sub-entries, one for regular and one for recovery mode. Xen.4.1 -> Fedora Linux, with Linux 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.x86_64 boots fine.

Expected results:
The menu should contain:

Fedora Linux, with Linux 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.x86_64
Fedora Linux, with Linux 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.x86_64 (recovery mode)
Xen 4.1.1
