Package: grub-installer
Version: 1.28
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The grub package does not currently support installation in a Xen
guest domain because it does not understand the Xen virtual block
devices (/dev/xvd[a-z]).
Patches have already been posted against grub (#456776) and grub-pc
(#456777) but an equivalent patch is also needed for the grub-installer
d-i component.
Thanks,
Ian.
