Thanks for reply.
Seems not working:
export pkgdatadir=. && ./grub-mkstandalone --grub-mkimage=./grub-mkimage 
-o pvgrub2.xen -O x86_64-xen -d grub-core/ boot/grub/grub.cfg
./grub-mkstandalone: warning: cannot open directory 
`/usr/local/share/locale': File o directory non esistente.

I also added the partition mods but Sid domU still unable to boot :(

I have also another question:
Is possible specify multiple path where search the grub.cfg for support 
all mainly distributions and add a custom cfg path support taking it 
from arguments?

Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.
