Summary0015717: Grub2 relocator module bug loading Xen under UEFI
DescriptionOn HP DL360g9 using EEFI
Using multiboot2 and module2 to boot xen-410 with kernel 4.9.127-32.el7.x86_64

grub displays "Loading initial ramdisk ..." then hangs.
debugging grub outputs this just before the hang:

Steps To Reproduceminimal centos 7 install
yum -y install centos-release-xen-410
yum -y update
yum -y install xen
yum -y install grub2-efi-modules
cp -a /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi /boot/efi/EFI/centos/
edit /etc/grub.d/08_linux_xen
change multiboot to multiboot2
change module to module2
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg
Additional InformationThe problem doesn't exist if I use the modules available by building grub2 from source

cd
mkdir grub2
cd grub2
wget "ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.02.tar.gz"
gunzip grub-2.02.tar.gz
tar -xf grub-2.02.tar
cd grub-2.02
./configure --with-platform=efi --target=x86_64
make

/usr/bin/cp ~/grub2/grub-2.02/grub-core/*.mod /boot/efi/EFI/centos/x86_64-efi/
cd ~/grub2/grub-2.02/grub-core
/usr/bin/cp *.lst /boot/efi/EFI/centos/x86_64-efi/
cd ..

I can confirm the same problem/solution on CentOS 7.8.2003 with Xen 4.12 with kernel 4.9.230 on a Dell R640 (which is a gen 14) BIOS 2.8.2.

I followed the same steps, with a minimal install, and "yum -y install centos-release-xen-412" instead of the 4.10 repo.

Side note: After 14 hours of this, I owe you a beer @colling2.
