Hello,

after upgrading to Xen 3.4.1 on one of my hosts I have problems starting my PV domUs that are configured to use pygrub.

When issuing "xm create <domU>" I get the following error message:
Boot loader didn't return any data!

Strange enough it worked before and it even still works when invoking xm create with "-c" (attached console)...
And yes, the kernel is present on the *first* phy-device.


Here the logs from a xm create (without "-c")

And here the same domain just invoked with "-c":

This is on a gentoo x64 system, running Xen 3.4.1-release (own ebuild).
