A couple of reasons:
1) Xen 3.2.x does not include gPXE support - these are still the Etherboot days.
2) I need gPXE support because I want to boot from iSCSI - just PXE boot
isn''t good enough.
3) Much as I would like to, I can''t upgrade past Xen 3.2 right now -
there are several reasons for this.
I may be able to compile the latest qemu-dm from the mercurial repository to get
gPXE support, but I''m not sure this will run on the version of Xen that
I have.
