Googling clearly shows , that a lot of Xen USERS have
been experienced similar issues on Debian 5 aka Lenny.
However , workaround seems to be Debian dependent  -
-  http://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@xxxxxxx/msg10870.html

For now i just add to kernel boot command line :-
 
 grub-installer/grub_2_instead_of_grub_legacy=false

pressing F6 at startup menu allows to modify linux boot command line
and get Ubuntu 9.10 Server installed with legacy grub.

Well, it might be a bug in Xen's interpretation of the multiboot spec of
course. The basic issue is that no Xen developer has tested GRUB2, and no
GRUB2 developer has tested Xen. :-) No doubt this will get fixed if GRUB2
gains traction.
