Hi!

seems like I've run into an issue with multiboot2 and module2
commands that I can't quite explain. Since it may be something
super simply and silly -- I wanted to reach out here before I do
a GRUB/Xen/LK source deepdive.

So here's the deal: whenever I boot straight up Linux kernel
I can do the following sequence of commands:
   linux /kernel
   initrd foo.cpio.gz bar.cpio.gz
and have linux kernel effectively stack content of bar.cpio.gz
on top of foo.cpio.gz and present a unified initramfs that way.

I'm trying to replicate it with Xen, but:
     multiboot2 /boot/xen.gz
     module2 /kernel
     module2 foo.cpio.gz
     module2 bar.cpio.gz
only seems to be picking up foo.cpio.gz

Has anyone run into this issue before?

Thanks,
Roman.
