So I install arch onto a Xen HVM machine and then boot it and set up pacman, update the machine, and then reboot it and then grub can't find the disks. Could someone help me find out why or point my in the right direction? I have tried both grub and grub2 without any luck. The /boot is ext2 and home and / are ext4 if that matters. This only happens when i am fully updated. The system seems to work with the 2010.05 snapshot.

You will need to provide more information Dizzy1, for instance the error message, your full partition scheme, current grub.cfg file and the command you issued to install grub.
