its not nescessary to use grsec, but I guess makes it more secure. The problem i'm having now trying not even a custom grsec kernel, but the debian 3.16 kernel from their repos. is that the vm I created when booting is asking me for a login? so if I type root it gives it to me. but it doesn't seem to be functioning right. The vm starts shows green light, then goes yellow light. And I can't load any programs from it like terminal. I folloowed directions to install pvgrub2-xen in dom0. Then in template vm installed qubes-kernel-vm-support grub2-common and installed kernel. then update-grub and shutdown.
