GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (Xen modules)
GRUB is a portable, powerful bootloader. This version of GRUB is based on a
cleaner design than its predecessors, and provides the following new features:
.
- Scripting in grub.cfg using BASH-like syntax.
- Support for modern partition maps such as GPT.
- Modular generation of grub.cfg via update-grub. Packages providing GRUB
add-ons can plug in their own script rules and trigger updates by invoking
update-grub.
.
This package contains GRUB modules that have been built for use with the
Xen hypervisor (i.e. PV-GRUB). It can be installed in parallel with other
flavours, but will not automatically install GRUB as the active boot loader
nor automatically update grub.cfg on upgrade unless grub-xen is also
installed.
