grub2 does not special case xen domU kernels

[Scott Moser]

Binary package hint: grub2

grub 0.97 had code in update-grub to special case xen kernels. The point of "indomU" was to add domU kernels only if the system was booted as a xen guest.

In grub2's update-grub, there is no such code.

The result is that if that if the user has a xen guest kernel installed that compares as newer than the latest non-xen kernel that is installed the xen guest kernel will be chosen for boot.

If the user is not in a domU , then a 'reboot' will not boot.

I've removed ec2-images from this bug, it is worked around in the ec2-images in lucid with changes in bug #671097

This is not really relevant to Ubuntu anymore, as all our kernels are appropriate as domU kernels.
