Bug#442218: update-grub overlooks xen kernels

[supaplex]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-27
Severity: normal

>From the man page: 
	It works by looking in  /boot  for  all  files which start  
	with  "vmlinuz-". They will be treated as kernels...

I've tried it with sudo bash -x /usr/sbin/update-grub &>hg.txt - but
didn't discover anything helpfull in determining why the xen kernel is
overlooked.  I just installed xen, and prior to reboot, I inspected the
menu.lst to see if the xen kernel had a menu entry.  There is none.  I
backed up the existing menu.lst, and ran update-grub again, and said Yes
to create a new menu.lst.  Still no xen kernel in the list.... (I assume
this is dom0 right?)  And yes, only bare metal involved here, so far...

transcript:

Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ...

Could not find /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Would you like
/boot/grub/menu.lst generated for you? (y/N) y
Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...

I'll include the bash -x transcript if you really want it, but it's some
1100 lines.

Thanks!
