[sles-beta] Admin Server fails to boot on Xen

[Eugen Block]

Hi,

this is a follow up on my problem regarding a SLES12-SP1 virtual  
machine on a Xen host.

The reported issue in my previous mail refers to an installation where  
"/boot" was installed on a sperate ext4 partition, the remaining file  
system was btrfs. This had to do with earlier problems, I wanted to  
avoid them.

Today I reinstalled SLES12-SP1 with default partitioning. The only  
changes I made were in the network settings. But the problem was the  
same, after reboot the VM gets stuck in grub. Only this time I'm not  
able to boot it manually with any grub commands.

For reference, I installed SLES12-SP0 again, with the exact same  
settings (default except network). This VM reboots successfully.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Eugen
