I don't think it is particularly likely to happen unless submenus are used for something else. Someone might install a xen hypervisor on a guest by mistake, but it isn't that likely. I did it deliberately for grub2 testing as I am still on grub1 on my base system. Michael Young -- xen mailing list xen@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen

Yeah, that's 744717. The bug isn't incredibly clear and I didn't do a very good job of summarizing it. If you look at the before and after grub.cfg files, you can see it though. How often would that happen in a guest? I don't think that I have submenu entries in any of my DomUs.

I have seen what I suspect is another one though I haven't investigated fully yet to confirm it. I think that if you delete a kernel with a xen entry it can remove a submenu opening clause but not the corresponding closing } which is bad if you have the xen hypervisor installed in a guest as it upsets pygrub.
