It has been said that it's possible to do the above. Does anybody have details of how one might go about it? It's easy enough to create, then extract from .. tar images.
But I can't figure how to do the grub stuff. Suggestions?

Do you need to use py-grub?
All my migrations worked fine - move the entire OS into an LVM, install the Xenified kernel inside the VM and in dom0 so the kernel can boot from dom0 and the modules can load inside domU; install Xen-happy libraries so you don't get hit by the massive amounts of logging the Redhat/fedora kernels do when dealing with fixing up segment hacks.
I haven't had (yet) to use py-grub.

OK .. but how do you make the FC6 Xen kernel access physical partions. Something like: -- disk = [ 'phy:VolumeGroup00/ng2Root,sda1,w', 'phy:VolumeGroup00/ng2Swap,sda2,w'] -- .. doesn't work with the supplied Xen kernel.

Watch your domU dmesg and make sure that there's no errors relating unmatched Xen devices or such; you need to be sure the domU has the Xen block and network devices loaded (the Xen block device being loaded in initrd or compiled into the kernel!) or your domU won't be able to mount the root device.
