Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 6.12.21-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Using the Kernel in a Xen VM is not possible, booting with that image results in the error

Loading Linux 6.12.21-amd64 ...
error: not xen image.
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: you need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continue...

Booting a self compiled Kernel is no issue though. VM type is "pv".

#86738 — Bug#1102066: grub-xen-host - no support for zstd compressed kernels

FromBastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>
Date2025-04-04 16:10 +0200
SubjectBug#1102066: grub-xen-host - no support for zstd compressed kernels
Message-ID<KxPU5-b2zN-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#86733
Control: reassign -1 grub-xen-host 2.12-7
Control: affects -1 src:linux

grub2 lacks any support to decompress zstd kernels.  This affects
booting xen pv via grub2, as there it needs to decompress the kernel
first.  grub2 itself contains support for zstd already, it just isn't
plumbed into the generic io filter via grub_file_filter_register

Relevant change to the Linux package:
