hello, I have default install of opensuse 10.2 x86_64 with all xen related. I have several guests working: Winxp pro sp2 (full virtual) FC6 3m respin (para) My latest adventure is to try and install CentOS 5.0 full-virtual to an LVM filesys. What happens is Centos boots from DVD into the installer. It sees my LVs and starts a text install. I select the default proposal. It then fails, saying there is not enough room for /boot. Maybe this is not meant to be -- perhaps Centos can''t boot from an LV, even in Xen? I setup the LV''s as detailed here http://www.profi-admin.eu/xeninst/index_eng.html thanks for helping, Mark --------------- traces -------------------------- KN9ULTRA:/home/tlviewer # lvs LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% centh xenvm -wi-a- 4.00G centr xenvm -wi-a- 11.77G vmswap xenvm -wi-a- 512.00M -------------- centos5 (hvm) -------------------------- kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" #kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-xen" #ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-xen" # The domain build function.
