Hi, Anybody please tell me how to have a PV Linux with graphics? I succesfully created some PV Linux with debootstrap and xen-tools. But then all the images must be started with "xm create -c" command, and everything then is console, with no X Window. In short, I want to have PV Linux, but with X. How to do that?

Hey guys, what I am trying to do is a chainload into grub2 installation in a DomU. So far I determined, PV-GRUB does not understand grub2''s grub.cfg notation. So I created a dummy menu.lst which has the needed root kernel and initrd rows and then referenced this to the DomUs config. The main intention to do this, is to be able to use kernel upgrades without touching the menu.lst for

I''ve just uploaded 0.10.0.50 which fixes a few bugs related to high network load (BSoD''s & packet corruption). It should upgrade any previous 0.10.x.x. Additionally, I''ve also uploaded uninstall_0.9.x.txt (rename it to .bat) which will uninstall 0.9.x drivers. After running that, reboot and they should be gone. Please do a backup first though as I have only tested
