Hi, i''m using virt-install and it runs successfully with that command: virt-install -n xengrid2 --vcpus=1 -r 256 -s 4 -f /media/disk/iso/xengrid/xengrid2 -l ftp://mirrors.hpcf.upr.edu/pub/Mirrors/redhat/download.fedora.redhat.com/6/i386/os -p --nographics now, i have a question. What''s the kernel image and initrd file used for virt-install in order to carry out the installation process? I need that information because i want use the cobbler/koan tools in order to provision virtual machines remotely, but when i submit the command koan --virt --server=136.145.116.114 --profile="xentemplate-profile" i got that: XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vbd/51712 XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vif/0 Freeing unused kernel memory: 184k freed Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 387k Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.0.2 starting Mounting proc filesystem Mounting sysfs filesystem Creating /dev Creating initial device nodes Setting up hotplug.

It saves those two files to /var/lib/xen/images and then boots the VM - the files are removed once the VM has started.> I need that > information because i want use the cobbler/koan tools in order to > provision virtual machines remotely, but when i submit the commandYou''ll want to grab the vmlinuz & initrd.img files out of $URL/images/xen and give them to cobbler when setting up the profile.
