Title:
  pvgrub "premature end of file" on new kernel

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When trying to boot 4.4.0-130.156 via pvgrub I get the following
  message:

  error: premature end of file /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-130-generic.
  alloc magic is broken at 0xfefb2b40: fedd3920
  Aborted. Press any key to exit.

  
  Previous kernels (e.g. 4.4.0-127.153) boot normally, as does any kernel when booted directly by specifying its kernel, ramdisk, and options in the xen domU configuration file.
