Thanks for your replies!

Pasi, Are you suggesting me to install Fedora 18 and check grub2
configuration and try to build my new grub from that ? Since I have Fedora
17 installed now as Dom0 and have Xen working, can't I use this grub2 as a
working example.

Dario and Gizmo,

Installing
 a new OS means I have to give the machine to the system admins, which
takes
 more time and me trying out things.

 I also remember reading in some forums where libvirt/virt-manager having
 issues running on Xen 4.2 and F18, which was why I started with Fedora 17
 in the first place.

 Dario,
 Did you compile Xen from source and install on F18 ? If yes can you give
me
 some tips on how you got it working, especially the grub entries. When I
first
 tried compiling/installing Xen from source, I was unable to boot Xen.

 Now that I have the grub.cfg file from the F17 (Xen installed using yum),
can I
 use this as an example and edit my grub.cfg after I compile/install Xen?
 Also, grub2 tells us not to manually edit grub.cfg since it is
autogenerated from
/etc/default/grub. So what is the right way to do it ?
