Bug#727736: Latest linux-image-686-pae fail to boot a xen domU
Package: linux-image-686-pae
Version: 3.10+52
Severity: normal
This version depends on linux-image-3.10-3-686-pae. I am the
client of a xen provider. Unfortuntely, because of that I don't have
many details. I think there is a similar problem with both Amazon
Web Service, and another provider. As far as I can tell, both sell
xen domU. 3.2.0-4-686-pae works for both. With Amazon and 3.9 or
3.10, not sure which, I got The following last lines of the the
System Log:
ERROR Invalid kernel: xc_dom_probe_bzimage_kernel: unknown compression format
xc_dom_bzimageloader.c:394: panic: xc_dom_probe_bzimage_kernel: unknown compression format
ERROR Invalid kernel: xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found
xc_dom_core.c:523: panic: xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found
xc_dom_parse_image returned -1
Error 9: Unknown boot failure
Press any key to continue...
I tried to run a self compiled kernel out of Debian source that
would be bzip, not xz. Or that is what I think the compression methods
were. I hardly remember. I think I have changed 4 settins of the
config file, from xz to bzip. And then made a self compiled kernel.
It was a crude guess. And did not work. As far as I remember, I did
manage to run several self compiled kernels before that of 3.9. I
don't have access to the to the Amazon machine any more.

solved.
With the 2nd xen domU provider, I currently have no means to get
the boot messages. However the domU doesn't get to a point where I
can connect to it. I suspect, but not sure, that it is the same
issue. To me, it looks similar to Amazon 1/2 checks passed. The
control panel claims the machine is offline, while the boot process
supposedly succeeded.
