Well just in case someone else hits this... once my colleague

hypervisor isn't being put into the grub2 boot list.  It's not good
booting off the one that says ...-xen-... as that appears to be the
paravirtualised kernel, not the hypervisor.  So, the following in
/etc/grub.d/40_custom

The simpler way appears to be:

cd /etc/grub.d
mv 20_linux_xen 08_linux_xen
update-grub

A search for "xen" in the bugs for grub-common yields the following hit, which has been merged with other bugs:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505517

However, in the yesterday's squeeze, the problem was still present; Xen dom0 does not get preference over the other installed kernels, which is a pretty big bummer.

Should I file a new bugreport for this?
