Linux localhost.localdomain 4.18.0-394.el8.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 31 16:19:11 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
grub2-mkconfig (GRUB) 2.03
On my centos8, I have installed centos-release-openstack-xena.noarch
But I cannot boot into Xen, please help.
Theoretically, after installing Xen, I should only run
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg
As my /etc/grub.d has a linux_xen file and antoher large number of files hanging there:
[root@localhost ~]# ls /etc/grub.d/
00_header 01_users 10_linux 11_linux_xen 20_linux_xen 30_os-prober 35_fwupd 41_custom
00_tuned 08_fallback_counting 10_reset_boot_success 12_menu_auto_hide 20_ppc_terminfo 30_uefi-firmware 40_custom README
(11_linux_xen is a symlink I created pointing to 20_linux_xen)
Unfortunately, grub.cfg will have nothing in the linux_xen section.
I added echo << EOF and EOF to the linux_xen file and I got some errors, but I wonder if debugging this complexity is the best way forward or if there is something simpler I can do.
/etc/grub.d/11_linux_xen file contents:
#! /bin/sh

# grub-mkconfig helper script.
