Fedora xen - Oct 2006 - RE: How can I boot using CD-ROM/ ISO?

Tiago,
I think you need to append your iso file in the disk line of your config file,
such as:
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/xen/fedora6.raiz,sda,w'',
''file:/fedora-iso/FC-5-x86_64-disc1.iso:cdrom,r'' ]
and the cdrom line is not needed. I''m not quite sure if this is what
you want to ask, but you can have a try:-).

Best regards,
Fan

Yes, off course:

[root@xen xen]# egrep -v ''^#|^$'' fedora6
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
arch_libdir = ''lib''
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5xenU"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5xenU.img"
memory = 512
name = "fedora6"
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/xen/fedora6.raiz,sda,w'',
'',sdb:cdrom,r'' ]
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir +
''/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
cdrom = "/fedora-iso/FC-5-x86_64-disc1.iso"
boot="d"
sdl=1
vnc=0
stdvga=0
serial=''pty''

Thanks

Was one very good shoot, but I can''t do this works because my kernel
xenU can''t find the ''root'' device on boot :(

Anyway, thanks a lot!
