The same problem I reported for grub legacy at [1]. You can read there
an explanation.
However, this is still going to be a problem in lenny because dom0
support is missing completely and domU support is only on i386.

I think a 'wontfix' tag would have been more appropriate for grub
legacy. At least in grub2 I hope it will be fixed.

Thanks
