[Xen-users] Error: Boot loader didn't return any data! (ubuntu 8.2 hardy release)

[Irfan Ahmed <ahm.irf@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to install PV guest debian.6-0.gnome.x86.20111008 using pygrub and getting the Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!

I am running ubuntu 8.2 hardy release Kernel 2.6.24-30-xen and using xen (xen-3.2.1-rc1-pre).

When I run # xm create -c debian.6-0.gnome.x86.20111008.pygrub.cfg

The  /var/log/xen/xend.log showed the following error:

--------------

I have also run

# pygrub debian.6-0.gnome.x86.20111008.img 

and got the following error:
