Hi,
this patch (applied as
http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?rev/8f783adc0ee3 , c/s
20099) introduced a problem for Itanium systems using LiloConf. This
patch is the fix for elilo. Since I am unable to find information
whether eLilo supports password protection or not, this patch makes the
entry and command-line editing on IA64 systems as if no patch with c/s
20099 was applied. Also, this version changes the exception trapping
from KeyError to every exception because of pyGrub would return no
result and tools would complain about that having exception instead of
providing data...

Hi,
this is the patch to add password support to pygrub for GRUB
bootloader. It basically checks for the presence of password line in
grub.conf of the guest image and if this line is present, it supports
both clear text and md5 versions of the password. Editing the grub
entries and command-line are disabled when some password is set in
domain's grub.conf file but the password was not entered yet. Also,
new option to press 'p' in interactive pygrub has been added to allow
entering the grub password. It's been tested on x86_64 with PV guests
and was working fine. Also, the countdown has been stopped after key
was pressed, ie. the user is probably editing the boot configuration.
