I'm not either, I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who IS, on this.

grub2's far less clean IMO than -legacy, but with support completely refused 
for -legacy by upstream, it's the way of things now.

Just installing -xen & -default kernels alongside of grub2 ends up generating 
this list of menu & submenu entries:

grep "submenu\|^\menuentry" /boot/grub2/grub.cfg | cut -d "'" -f2
        openSUSE
        Advanced options for openSUSE
        openSUSE GNU/Linux, with Xen hypervisor
        Advanced options for openSUSE GNU/Linux (with Xen hypervisor)
        Xen hypervisor, version 4.5.0_03-359
        Xen hypervisor, version 4.5
        Xen hypervisor, version 4
        Xen hypervisor, version dbg
        Xen hypervisor, version xen
        Xen hypervisor, version dbg-4.5.0_03-359
        Xen hypervisor, version dbg-4.5
        Xen hypervisor, version dbg-4

Not sure what to do with all of those yet.

On a headless server without some helpful GUI tools making edits is a bit of a 
mess.  While setting up & tuning Xen, snce -xen & -default tuning are 
necessarily different, this gets to be a pain.

I'm hoping I won't have to resort to manual config of grub.cfg.
