It's definitely there in the config file [2] and I can boot it manually. I really need the machine to be able to boot unattended. I tried setting it manually in /etc/grub/default but that doesn't work either.
I'm generating the grub.cfg with grub2-mkconfig > /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and have re-installed grub2 on my /dev/sda and /dev/sdb (raid-1 /boot).
Change this: GRUB_DEFAULT="saved"
to GRUB_DEFAULT="Fedora GNU/Linux, with Xen hypervisor"
Sorry, that's what I meant by "tried setting it manually in /etc/grub/default". I believe this *used to* work.
Manually editing may not be a good idea:
# # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub2-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub #
I can confirm that I can change the default entry for grub2 on F20 to Xen:
I use a script I wrote which you can download at https://github.com/zma/usefulscripts/blob/master/script/grub2-select.bash which summarize the steps from http://www.fclose.com/3826/setting-default-entry-in-grub2-and-grub/ .
I wonder if anybody else is successfully booting Xen with f20's grub2?
I just tried and unfortunately Xen can not boot either for me ;( It got stuck. I made a video recording it: http://file.pkill.info/file/f12-xen-fail-to-boot.mov (25MB). It worked well for me last time I tried it on F19. No idea what is wrong.
The versions of Xen and Kernel:
xen-4.3.2-2.fc20.x86_64 kernel-3.13.10-200.fc20.x86_64
Best, Eric
