g'day,

Xen is very poorly documented on Arch to the point where nothing works as expected.

Also, the docs found here, miss inform:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xen
since one should not edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly.

The /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen script is generating empty entries in the GRUB menu.
I suspect that the /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen script is at fault.. However, since nothing is documented I really have no clue.

Hence, I am unsure even if this is a fault in the script or something I am missing due to lack of documentation. If this was GRUB-leg,
it would be a cake walk.

Others have had issues also:

Background:
GRUB2 on pure UEFI system. Perhaps I will figure out how to get rid of GRUB altogether soon and package the kernel directly into EFI bin format.

Cheers,
Edward.
This task depends upon

Where should documentation 'bugs' be filed then, if it is indeed a bug in documentation?

Because currently this *does* looks to be a bug in the GRUB scripts to me..

Kind Regards,
Edward.
