Description guillaume 2013-12-03 17:10:33 UTC 
I've been unable to get my domU PV domain to boot, with the arg bootloader="pygrub"
   $ xl create /etc/xen/auto/my_domain.cfg

Parsing config from /etc/xen/auto/my_domain.cfg
xl: libxl_bootloader.c:42: bootloader_arg: Assertion `bl->nargs < bl->argsspace' failed.
Aborted

The problem seems to be the same like this one:

http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1844

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install app-emulation/xen-4.2.2-r1
2. Try to use bootloader = "pygrub" in your domu configuration
3. xl create your_domain.cfg


Expected Results:  
Domain should be created and running using pygrub.

Fix only to most recent -4.3.1. The -4.3.0 will be removed on the bumping to version 4.4.0 which is pending.  Forgot to close this 2 weeks ago.
