Description Holger Hetterich 2006-04-13 12:01:01 UTC

After installation of 10.1 RC1, I started the "Virtual Machine Management (Xen)" Module from YaST. After installing the Xen server packages, kernel for dom0 etc, a message pops up saying something like: "Your system is now ready for Xen usage, please reboot, and choose the Xen section in grub".

But the grub.conf doesn't contain any new entries for Xen.

On the Beta's I've tested before, after installing the Xen dom0 packages, a message popped up "The following will be done... " basically saying that grub will be changed. This window didn't appear this time.

I can reproduce it easily by trying the Xen module again. It's the same procedure, and grub.conf is left untouched.

for machine specs, see bug 160638

This was by design (#163138), now that kernel-xen is modifying grub via perl-bootloader.

Comment 3 Lynn Bendixsen 2006-04-13 20:38:46 UTC

Actually the design change was based on several bugs that were entered.  Bug 163138 has the details of the change and why it was made.  An entry is added to grub with every install of the kernel-xen rpm so we didn't think it was necessary to add a grub entry via YaST also.

Comment 4 Holger Hetterich 2006-04-20 07:39:23 UTC

However, I don't see why this bug is RESOLVED INVALID. Regardless of the yast module doing the job of changing grub or the kernel rpms doing that, I still get no grub entry for Xen, not on RC1 nor on BUILD 1001 and 1002

Comment 5 Holger Hetterich 2006-04-20 09:36:39 UTC

the grub entry finally appears in build 1003. Resolving to FIXED. Thanks
