16 You may put your kernel configuration in /boot as well. The important
17 thing is to have xen enabled in that configuration - that is what grub
18 looks for. It only creates xen entries if xen is enabled. Also the name
19 must match - for example config-*, kernel-* and so on. You can can set
20 to boot xen by default with grub2-set-default (specify the menuentry) -
21 it's written to grubenv. Before that, set GRUB_DEFAULT="saved" to
22 /etc/default/grub.
