Hello,

I'm running ArchLinux on Citirx XenServer 7 for a few years now with no problems whatsoever. When I updated the linux package from 4.9.11-1 to 4.10.4-1 and on boot, it gets stuck right after Grub on 'Loading initramfs'.

The entire system is on BTRFS filesystem, booting from Grub with the 'BIOS boot' partition.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  Old and stale. Plus it's clearly an upstream issue. If still relevant, please report upstream.

it seems fixed upstream, can you confirm?

The upstream does not fix it. I tried upgrading from a devel VM running fine with 4.10.4-1, upgrading to current 4.14.13-1 will not boot. Xenserver is currently at:

Xen version: 4.7.4-2.9 (preserve-AD)

Which the other linked bug says it should be fixed.
