Package: grub
Version: 0.97-27
Severity: normal
>From the man page:
It works by looking in /boot for all files which start
with "vmlinuz-". They will be treated as kernels...
I've tried it with sudo bash -x /usr/sbin/update-grub &>hg.txt - but
didn't discover anything helpfull in determining why the xen kernel is
overlooked. I just installed xen, and prior to reboot, I inspected the
menu.lst to see if the xen kernel had a menu entry. There is none. I
backed up the existing menu.lst, and ran update-grub again, and said Yes
to create a new menu.lst. Still no xen kernel in the list.... (I assume
this is dom0 right?) And yes, only bare metal involved here, so far...

I'll include the bash -x transcript if you really want it, but it's some
1100 lines.
