I couldn't wait. It looks like it updated grub properly this time. Still got that weird message from yum about install only packages, but I am not sure if that is because I am installing the rpm's from a local file using yum. I don't have a .repo setup for the testing repo.

I'd say you're probably onto something here. I'm currently building
3.9.7-5 with the following:
GRUB_CONF=$(readlink -n -e /etc/grub.conf 2>/dev/null)
if [ -z $GRUB_CONF ]; then
if [ -f "/boot/grub/grub.conf" ]; then
GRUB_CONF="/boot/grub/grub.conf"
else
echo "No valid grub.conf found. You'll need to
fix this manually!"
fi
else
echo "Adding Xen lines to $GRUB_CONF for
kernel-xen-%{KRELEASE}."
etc etc etc
For readlink:
-e, --canonicalize-existing canonicalize by following every symlink in
every component of the given name
recursively,
all components must exist
-n, --no-newline do not output the trailing newline
While the new line may not have caused any issues, having a non-newline
terminated string returned is probably more expected behaviour for any
future additions.
3.9.7-5 will hit the testing repo shortly...
