My understanding is that if you're using pvgrub you wouldn't actually install grub from within the guest. You just set up a grub.cfg and the pvgrub bootloader resides outside the guest. If you are using full virtualization and want to run grub, then you need to partition your disk, so your root wouldn't be /dev/xvda but instead it would be /dev/xvda1. Or you can just not use grub at all. -- Rich
