Hi. I''m trying to create a new domU with Opensuse 10.2 x86_64 as distro. I downloaded the "opensuse10.2-x86_64-mini.iso" which is like the netinst iso of Debian, I created the opensuse-disk and opensuse-swap LVM volumes and I created the opensuse.cfg configuration file: kernel = ''/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xenU'' memory = ''128'' root = ''/dev/sda1 ro'' disk = [ ''phy:vserver/opensuse-disk,sda1,w'', ''phy:vserver/opensuse-swap,sda2,w'', ''file:/vserver/iso/opensuse10.2-x86_64-mi name = ''opensuse'' vif = [ ''vifname=opensuse, ip=192.168.1.61'' ] on_poweroff = ''destroy'' on_reboot = ''restart'' on_crash = ''restart'' boot = ''d'' vnc=1 vncviewer=1 sdl=0 But when I try to start the new domU it doesn''t start and doesn''t write me any error. My purpose it to start the domU from the iso to install Opensuse from it, like when creating a Windows domU. Is the configuration file correct or I made some mistake? Thank you very much!

Please look at the example config in /etc/xen, and do as they say. Hint: to boot from a CD iso, you need HVM, and for this, hardware virtualization support.

But when I start the Fedora installation from the .iso, it ask me for a cd-rom driver. What driver I have to choose? Thanks a lot! _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
