Igor,

        I'm in the experimenting stage as well. Under Ubuntu 10.4 with grub2, I 
have the
following in /etc/grub.d/40_custom :

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry "Xen 4.0.1 / Ubuntu 10.4 kernel 2.6.32.21-xen pvops" {
  recordfail
  insmod ext2
  set root=(hd0,5)
  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 52710c96-cc2d-473e-81e2-29be34d60339
  multiboot /xen-4.0.1.gz
  module /vmlinuz-2.6.32.21-xen root=/dev/mapper/dokodemo-root ro
  module /initrd.img-2.6.32.21-xen
}
