Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub2
I recently apt-getted grub2 to test it, as I was having problems with grub related to hibernating + savedefault + reiserfs .
When making update-grub, no entries specific for the xen-hypervisor get generated. Thus, the -xen kernel gets added as one regular kernel (which cannot boot). In fact no specific entry for xen kernels is found under /etc/grub.d/ . Therefore, no xen enabled kernels work, at least "out of the box" without editing grub.cfg.
update-grub for regular grub worked perfectly.
Running under hardy, BTW.

update-grub2 from the debian/ folder (belonging to upstream) does not seem to provide any functionality for xen enabled kernels, unlike update-grub from debian/legacy. Therefore the system-installed update-grub is not able to create properly the grub.cfg file.
I think it is related to http:// bugs.debian. org/cgi- bin/bugreport. cgi?bug= 419157 upstream.
