Right, if I add those to the embedded grub.cfg file I get to the
standard grub menu and the boot starts. However the boot doesn't get
very far - it loads the kernel and the initrd file and starts the
kernel but the kernel doesn't see the virtual disks so it doesn't get
very far.
Using xenstore-ls from the dom0 on the guest when the boot stops the
local/domain/2/device/vbd/51712 section looks like
backend = "/local/domain/0/backend/vbd/2/51712"
backend-id = "0"
state = "6\000"
virtual-device = "51712"
device-type = "disk"
ring-ref = "\000"
event-channel = "\000"
protocol = "x86_64-abi\000"
As nothing else has null character endings I suspend that is wrong.
Good catch. Could you test following:
diff --git a/grub-core/kern/xen/init.c b/grub-core/kern/xen/init.c
index 3bfd99f..ab74543 100644
--- a/grub-core/kern/xen/init.c

The section is tidied up, ie.
backend = "/local/domain/0/backend/vbd/4/51712"
backend-id = "0"
state = "6"
virtual-device = "51712"
device-type = "disk"
ring-ref = ""
event-channel = ""
protocol = "x86_64-abi"
but unfortunately it doesn't help as the boot process sticks at the same
point. I notice this section is in state 6 which apparently is "closed".
I wonder if the kernel expecting something else.
