Right, pv-grub-* is used to boot custom kernels. You can read more about
it at http://library.linode.com/advanced/pv-grub-howto and
http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/PV-GRUB (I think it requires grub1
as pv-grub on linode is configured to look for a menu.lst to get
configuration). I'm not sure if all lucid kernels are built with
CONFIG_XEN and the rest of crack, I use linux-image-virtual myself.

Right, there was no menu.lst so it booted to the grub interface, but
that's no big deal, I can work from there.

I will try that one.

Thanks, this was very helpful!
