Hi Ian,
I have checked out sources from
http://xenbits.xen.org/git-http/xenclient/build.git , and build it.
Build went through and the I started xenclient installation. I
followed the steps given in the HOWTO document embedded with source
code. But the grub-install fails. Please
look at the command and output it returns.
