Re: [Xen-users] Xen 4.4 gives error about invalid entry point for ELF64

[Daniel Shub <Daniel.Shub@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The grub configuration item is

menuentry 'Xen 4.4.0 / Arch GNU/Linux, with Linux linux' --class xen --class 
arch --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
        insmod part_gpt 
        insmod lvm 
        insmod ext2
        set 
root='lvmid/x6ZMlJ-plwy-IbrH-jMWQ-o7xs-wGSq-zYwtIh/rDjjqf-y6oV-6h53-PsQY-0c1d-BFkq-czCMcN'
        if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
          search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 
--hint='lvmid/x6ZMlJ-plwy-IbrH-jMWQ-o7xs-wGSq-zYwtIh/rDjjqf-y6oV-6h53-PsQY-0c1d-BFkq-czCMcN'
  4bebf152-5d3b-45cf-8d3d-e00739619782
        else
          search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 
4bebf152-5d3b-45cf-8d3d-e00739619782
        fi
       echo    'Loading Xen 4.4.0 ...'
       multiboot       /boot/xen-syms-4.4.0.gz /boot/xen-syms-4.4.0.gz xsave=1
       echo    Loading Linux linux ...
       module  /boot/vmlinuz-linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux 
root=/dev/mapper/xen-dom0 rw console=tty0
       echo    "Loading initial ramdisk ..."
       module  /boot/initramfs-linux.img
}

Running file on the files I see:

Please share the grub configuration which is causing the problem. Also
running file on any paths mentioned in there might be helpful, e.g.
        file /boot/xen.gz
(if /boot/xen.gz is mentioned)
