I'm installing XenSource VMs
BTW: XenServer commercial stuff or just GPL Xen VM's? (XenSource is dead/swallowed, in any case and not operating by that name anymore)
(ifclass GRUB && ifclass VIRTXEN) && mkdir ${target}/boot/grub && touch ${target}/boot/grub/menu.lst
ACK, have to do the same.
Does someone have an explanation what is happening?
Hmm, maybe something along these lines: your going to install a kernel, which pulls in a bootloader. But the bootloader has some hard time when "looking at the disk", as you're only handing over a single partition to the xen guest (it sees something like /dev/sda1 without /devsda), if you're doing it like most people do it on debian. Some of the helper tools involved around this process have some trouble with the type of setup...
I guess properly reading the logs in the area where the problem happens could help a little, but I never took the time.
