Description:

If you Install RC1 with default selected patterns and choose a LVM based
partitioning propsal, the boot entry for the xen kernel gets configured wrong
once the xen pattern gets installed afterwards and the xen yast2 module is used
to setup xen.

Here the menu.lst of the affected machine:

Howto repeat:

o Install SL10.2 on x86-64
 - choose "LVM based proposal" for the partitioning
 - do not select the xen pattern upon installation

o once the installation is done, start YAST2 and install the xen pattern
o start the YAST xen module to get the machine set up
=> watch the /boot/grub/menu.lst, the entry for xen is broken.
