No, but while on the subject: has anyone played with pygrub (or is there an alternative), to not require domU kernels sit on the dom0 file system?

Being part of xentools I'd imagine there are probably only two people on this list that could even attempt it's use :)

I'm curious of the perceived benefits ... other than manual config changes and the consolidation of the running kernel and the domu reference kernel ... Is the benefit mainly time saving?

As for grub2, the known bugs page states:

*The PC partition map seems not to work with BSD disklabels any longer.
*Sun disklabels also aren't working.

So it's probably not worth even trying at this stage.
