## Bug Description 

When install VM on this xen host with "xen-pv" mode. the vnc console fails to show installation gui console and reports error messages "This VM has no graphic display device".

Sample xen vm configuration file:

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <domain type="xen">

      </graphics>
      <interface type="bridge">
        <virtualport type="openvswitch"/>
        <model type="netfront"/>

        <source bridge="br0"/>

  </domain>

Then, we can see many installation failures in our automation tests like below:

https://openqa.suse.de/tests/13823703#step/setup_libyui/1 [please see attached file as well]

I did some investigation and found that the issue might be caused by xen kernel binary file '/usr/lib/grub2/x86_64-xen/grub.xen'. the issue is gone if I use the one from older package 'grub2-x86_64-xen-2.06-150500.29.13.1.noarch.rpm', please see job https://openqa.suse.de/tests/13838259#step/setup_libyui/1.


Can you please check if any update of package grub2-x86_64-xen cause the problem?

Do let me know if any information required.
