[Fedora-xen] Xen error on FC 5, problem creating guest
Hi, I am working on a P4, 2.4 GHz intel system with 512 MB of RAM. I installed the xen0 and the xenU kernel that comes along with the installation DVD. I am able to boot xen, and the ''xm list'' command shows the Domain-0 running. I tried to build a guest with the following config file kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" name="FC5Guest" memory=256 root="/dev/hda1" disk=[''phy:/root/temp/disk.img,hda1,w''] vif=[''''] saved to fc5-inst when i tried to create the guest using ''xm create -c fc5-inst'' , i get the following error ''Error creating Domain: (22, ''Invalid Argument'') '' I am new to xen, please help me out.

If you use a image file for the guest you need "file" not "phy" in disk definition.
