[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#703586: Xen fails to boot Linux

Package: xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64
Version: 4.1.4-2
Severity: important

I've installed wheezy Linux successfully (ref. bug 703469).  Installed 
xen-linux-system-amd64, with the diversion in 
http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#Prioritise_Booting_Xen_Over_Native followed 
by "grub-install".

Xen appears to boot (messages go by fast), then I get a blank screen, 
followed seconds later by a reboot.  No messages redolent of Linux.

/ is on dm-crypt, if that matters; a straight Linux boot finds it.

I notice in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, the menuentrys for Xen are missing the 
"load_video" and "insmod gzio" that straight Linux has, if that matters.
