How do I add xen kernel boot parameters in grub2?
- by Matt
I know that I can add command line parameters to the grub2 command line by editing
/etc/default/grub according to this answer
How do I add a boot parameter to grub2 in Ubuntu 10.10?
However, that would apply to ALL kernels would it not?
How do I apply the command line parameters to specific kernels? i.e. only xen.
I'm wanting to append something like:
xen-pciback.hide=(06:00.0)
I'm guessing I need to add it somewhere in the file:
/etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen
Which contains:
#! /bin/sh
set -e
# grub-mkconfig helper script.
