Hello Bastian,

In this case, are you using the root partition for all block device or
is this partitioned? If you are using all block device (the logical
volume) to root disk, you need to set in your conffile it to 'xvda1'.
Case you are using a logical volume partitioned and the root disk is
the first partition, the right is:
| grubdom> root (hd0,0)


Best Regards,
