Hello, I am trying to get openindian 151a running under Xen. I am using xen unstable rev 24798 and Debian Squeeze domain 0. My cfg file is: # builder=''hvm'' disk = [ ''file:/xen-vms/oi/oi151a.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' , ''file:/xen-vms/oi/xenoi.img,hda,w'' ] vif = [ ''bridge=eth0, mac=00:14:3e:00:8f:d8'' ] vcpus = 2 memory = 2048 name = "oi" kernel = "/xen-vms/oi/kernels/unix" ramdisk = "/xen-vms/oi/kernels/boot_archive" extra = "/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix -B console=ttya" on_shutdown = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "destroy" The VM starts up when I create it and it appears to boot. It also gets an IP address assigned to it and I can ping it. My problem is that I can not ssh to the install. I am not an experienced linux or xen user, and I can not think of any other way I could connect to the VM via a console or something... If I try and run the installation in HVM, I can see (in vncviewer) the openindiana install menu come up, but whatever I select from there causes the VM to freeze after it preforms its initial start-up (............). It does not get an IP address assigned to it, I assume that the OS is not running.... I dont understand how one goes about doing the installation if one can not access the VM through vncviewer or through a remote login. Any help would be appreciated.

Hope that helps, Thanks, Todd -- Todd Deshane http://www.linkedin.com/in/deshantm http://blog.xen.org/ http://wiki.xen.org/
