Hello,

I just noticed something weird.. I upgraded my host to F12/rawhide, so
now I'm running everything straight from rawhide, except my custom
pv_ops dom0 kernel.

Anyway, it seems the F12/rawhide xen-3.4.1-3 rpms contain pygrub that
doesn't support ext4.

# /usr/bin/pygrub --output=/tmp/debug /dev/vg_dom0test/test3vm
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 680, in <module>
    chosencfg = run_grub(file, entry, fs, incfg["args"])
  File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 515, in run_grub
    g = Grub(file, fs)
  File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 202, in __init__
    self.read_config(file, fs)
  File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 397, in read_config
    raise RuntimeError, "couldn't find bootloader config file in the image provided."
RuntimeError: couldn't find bootloader config file in the image provided.


However, If I do 'rpmbuild --bb xen.spec' for xen-3.4.1-3.fc12.src.rpm and install 
the rebuilt rpms, pygrub works just fine!

So is there some lib missing from the build requirements or? 

Any ideas?
