Grub Xen and LVM

[koan]

Hello,

I am using Xen, with LVM based partitions for the guests. What I have been doing is setting up the partitions in LVM, then giving the partition as a partition to the guest. I think the traditional way would be to give the partition to the guest as a disk, then have the guest "partition the partition".

Now I want to use pygrub (have xen run grub install in the guest), but cannot figure out how to get grub installed in the VMs. They don't have a master boot record or valid partition tables from their perspectives - this is all at the host level.

Is there any way I can get grub installed into a partition like this?

I suspect I am going to have to clarify this question a bit, so please let me know if it is lacking any sense

Cheers,

Paul

The answer is that grub does not need to be installed at all in a Xen domu - as long as the grub/menu.lst is present in boot, thats all that is required.
