Hi,
D4T from the thread on the Ubuntu forum reported grub svn revision 2063 to work with Xserve 1,1 without problems, using fakebios and the proper kernel options.
Have a look here for grub config examples that may work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7082153&postcount=622
The fakebios command seems to be required for this type of machine, and the noefi kernel option as well as the video= options are required for some kernels, you need to do some experimenting :)
