This is looking like a problem with the grub package.
** Package changed: xen (Ubuntu) => grub2 (Ubuntu)

Title:
ubuntu 20.04.1 installed with zfs root fails to boot after installing
xen-hypervisor
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
After installing 20.04.1 using the ZFS root option I installed Xen.
When it rebooted it failed in initramfs with the error "No pool
imported". I was able to boot the previous kernel. When I examined the
/boot/grub/grub.cfg I found what looked like invalid "root=ZFS="
options like this:
"root=ZFS=/ROOT/ubuntu_xxxxxx"
The previous kernel that boots looks like this:
"root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_xxxxxx"
After looking in /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d I was unable to
figure out why they were different and how I could change it.
As a test saved a copy and edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg adding the rpool
to each "root=ZFS=" line where rpool was missing. This time I was able
to boot the Xen kernel.
==============================
How to reproduce the problem
From scratch install ubuntu 20.04.1 desktop, select ZFS as root option, then install xen-hypervisor-4.11-amd64.
It will fail to reboot because the grub root=ZFS argument is wrong.
