Oddly I get this after I installed it.

/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `'.

And I kind of fixed it by removing the 'set -e' at the start
of the file.

After that, and with me removing the /boot/config-3.12.0 file
it generates an proper entry in grub.cfg for the Xen payload!
Yeey!

The other thing I saw was that the 'root' option for Linux
ended up being 'root=' instead of the 'root=UUID=blabla'.

See here:

if [ x"$grub_platform" != xxen \(  x"$grub_cpu" = xi386 -o x"$grub_cpu" = 
xx86_64 -o x"$grub_platform" = x \) ]; then

        insmod part_msdos 
        insmod ext2
        set root='hd0,msdos1'
        if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
          search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1
