[Xen-users] issue creating domains

I''m trying to set up Xen.

I''ve tried both windows and centos and haven''t gotten
anywhere. It seems to
start up correctly but I can''t attach to the console (xenconsole: Could
not
read tty from store: No such file or directory) nor do I get a vnc session.
Doing an xm list the state shows up to be ----- (which isn''t listed in
the
docs, suspended failed waiting for input, anything?)

Some posts seemed to indicate qemu but I didnt even have a qemu log being
generated.  FYI I am running kubuntu 7.04 and booting into XEN correctly,
also I have an AMD processor with Pacifica support. ( (XEN) AMD SVM
Extension is enabled for cpu 0.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Muhammed

The domain config file

builder = ''hvm''
memory = 1024
name = "centos"
vcpus = 1
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
disk = [
''file:/vm/images/centos4.img,ioemu:hda,w'',''file:/home/syyid/CentOS-
4.4-i386-binDVD.iso ,hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
ne2000=0

vnc=1
vncviewer=1
