Per advice I received from some other Xen/Debian/Ubuntu users, I decided to use Debian 5/Lenny (very solid and stable) as my Dom0 host, and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron (more features and fresher packages) as my new PV DomU guest. I am using an LVM volgroup (FooComVolG) to host the root and swap of this guest. So, I tried: xen-create-image --hostname=foo.com --size=23.93Gb --swap=4Gb --ip=172.19.3.202 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=172.19.3.1 --force --memory=4Gb --passwd --lvm=FooComVolG It failed with: We''re trying to configure an installation of hardy in - but there is no hook directory for us to use. This means we don''t know how to configure this installation. We''d expect the hook directory to be : /usr/lib/xen-tools/hardy.d Sure enough, there''s no hardy in /usr/lib/xen-tools/ So, is Hardy on Lenny impossible? Can I go find the proper hardy.d somewhere else and just copy it over or will there be Bad Things caused by that? I will also be migrating over an existing Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn at some point. It''s a running physical server right now. I can copy the files over, but I''m not sure how to first, kickstart it into a running HVM Xen machine and second, switch it over to PV (if 7.04 guests have the right packages available to run as PV). I can always try updating the 7.04 to 7.10/Gutsy and then 8.04 if needed. But any advice about the kickstarting-from-just-files process is welcomed. -- Chris ''Xenon'' Hanson, omo sanza lettere Xenon AlphaPixel.com PixelSense Landsat processing now available! http://www.alphapixel.com/demos/ "There is no Truth.

Chris, Have a look at http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/LiveCD and get the new Xen Live CD! Its a Debian Lenny dom0 with 4 pre-configured Ubuntu domUs! I hope it will clarify things for you... - Thiago 2009/4/13 Chris ''Xenon'' Hanson <xenon@alphapixel.com>> Per advice I received from some other Xen/Debian/Ubuntu users, I decided > to use Debian > 5/Lenny (very solid and stable) as my Dom0 host, and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy > Heron (more > features and fresher packages) as my new PV DomU guest. > > > I am using an LVM volgroup (FooComVolG) to host the root and swap of this > guest.
