For an Opensuse 11.4 DomU on Opensuse 11.4 Dom0, using
cat mail.cfg
name = 'mail'
builder = 'linux'
bootloader = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py'
bootargs = '--entry=xvda1:vmlinuz-xen,/boot/initrd-xen'
...
running
xm create -c mail.cfg
gives the usual long/verbose output at console, ending with success at
Welcome to openSUSE 11.4 "Celadon" - Kernel 2.6.37.6-0.7-xen
(xvc0).
mail login:
If I switch to using pygrub instead,
cat mail.cfg
name = 'mail'
builder = 'linux'
bootloader = '/usr/bin/pygrub'
bootargs = ''
...
and leaving everything else the same, running
xm create -c mail.cfg
gives me instead
pyGRUB version 0.6

missing all the verbose logging stuff, but still ending up with a
working DomU.
What else does pygrub need to make it 'speak up'?
