Re: error: not xen image / you need to load the kernel first

[CamZie <camzie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I see this error message whenever the server is booting and when I run the console command on the server.

I found the following issue with Ubuntu 20.04 for lz4 compressed kernels. After manually extracting the kernel as suggested here I could now successfully boot with the new kernel:

Hello,

We are having problems booting Ubuntu 20.04 installation with the newest kernel "5.4.0-156-generic" on our Ganeti (Xen) server.

We get the following error message everytime we boot the newest kernel:

error: not xen image.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

Where are you seeing this error message? I don't see either of those strings anywhere in the xen.git tree.
