I have grub2 installed on an Opensuse Xen 4.9 Dom0 host,
grub2-2.02-3.1.x86_64
grub2-i386-pc-2.02-3.1.x86_64
grub2-x86_64-efi-2.02-3.1.x86_64
grub2-x86_64-xen-2.02-3.1.x86_64
kernel-default-4.11.0-4.1.gcb15206.x86_64
xen-4.9.0_04-493.2.x86_64
xen-libs-4.9.0_04-493.2.x86_64
xen-tools-4.9.0_04-493.2.x86_64
reading @ https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_EFI, multiboot2 is supposedly
supported
...
Xen as gz binary
...
Xen 4.9 and later implements both multiboot and multiboot2.
...
with instructions to
Inspect the grub.cfg. Make sure that it has 'multiboot2' and 'module2'
for Xen
Here,
ls -al /boot/xen*gz

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 May 12 09:32 /boot/xen.gz ->
xen-4.9.0_04-493.gz
but, grub.cfg still appears to use the chainloader mech, with no mention of
"multiboot2"
cat /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
...

...
checking, the current grub appears to have multiboot2 modules installed
ls -al {/usr/lib/grub2,/boot/grub2}/x86_64-efi/multiboot2*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25K May 12 08:52
/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi/multiboot2.mod
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25K May 12 00:21
/usr/lib/grub2/x86_64-efi/multiboot2.mod
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 164K May 12 00:21
/usr/lib/grub2/x86_64-efi/multiboot2.module
So it looks like the pieces are there ...
What needs be done to enable the multiboot2 usage? Additional/different config
on my part? Or, is support -- either from the grub2 or Xen sides -- not yet
fully implemented?
