Hummmmm, according to the config file, I too am using pygrub but I never see
the menu.
I tried the xm create command as you suggested but I still do not see the menu.
If I use virt-manager to make changes to the configuration, I see the
changes in /etc/xen/vm_name
I am now wondering if there is another config file some where that virt-manager
is writing to.
Am I missing something?
