Are you using full virtualization, or para-virtualization? If you're 
using para-virtualization, the DomU kernel must be in place on the 
*Dom0*, along with its mkinitrd compiled from the /etc/modprobe.conf 
contents. The DomU need only have the contents of the 
/lib/modules/[kernel-name], although the full kernel is useful for 
reference purposes.
If you're using para-virtualization, you're not using grub at all on the 
DomU and may as well "rpm -e grub" on it to avoid confusion.
