Quattor and Xen

 * Grub component
   * Need support for "multiboot"
   * Xen is the "kernel", Linux kernel, initrd are "modules"
   * Was checked in -- works for me (problems at CERN?)



















 * Started ncm-xen component
   * Writes configuration files for individual VMs
   * Should also write base Xen configuration
   * Will set up links for automatic start of domains
   * Got a bit stuck with first use of LC::Check
   * Will check in 0.1 version
   * Feature requests?
