Hi
Apologies in advance if this is already in the works.
I wanted to provide an etc/grub.d rule for generating boot stanzas for Xen
based systems such that it would end up in the upstream grub release.
If this conforms to the appropriate conventions, could someone possibly add
it ?
It's basically a copy of etc/grub.d/10_linux and adds checks for dom0
capable kernels. I picked "09_" as I assumed that one would want to default
to the Xen boot entry, but that may be a matter of some debate.
Thanks

# FILE: 09_xen
#
# USAGE: update-grub ... with this in /etc/grub.d
#
# DESCRIPTION: Generate grub2 boot stanza for Xen systems
# Xen boot entries are automatically added to
grub.cfg
# The 09-... name prefix puts the Xen boot
entries before
# the linux kernel entries
#
# OPTIONS: ---
# REQUIREMENTS: --- grub2, Xen hypervisor
# BUGS: --- probably
# NOTES: --- Copied from 10_linux with a few hacks to make ir work
for Xen.
# Incorporated suggestions to only do
this for valid dom0 kernels
