Do you need to use py-grub?

All my migrations worked fine - move the entire OS into an LVM, install the
Xenified kernel inside the VM and in dom0 so the kernel can boot from dom0
and the modules can load inside domU; install Xen-happy libraries so you
don't get hit by the massive amounts of logging the Redhat/fedora kernels do
when dealing with fixing up segment hacks.

I haven't had (yet) to use py-grub.
