Re: [CentOS-virt] new-kernel-pkg needs to be made Xen-aware

I ran "yum update" the other day on my dom0 and let it pull a new kernel. The RPM install scriptlet runs /sbin/new-kernel-pkg (part of the grubby package) to update grub.conf. It writes a new record to boot the Linux kernel instead of Xen. It would be nice if it noticed that it was running inside Xen and wrote a suitable record for that.

We are aware of this issue and for now, you have to manually run /usr/bin/grub-bootxen.sh

We are also aware that the setup that grub-bootxen.sh provides is very basic and does not learn/keep custom settings.

This is something that we would love to receive community input to fix.
