[Xen-users] Image creation with virt-manager---xen configure without pygrub
Hello everyone: I have looked everywhere and have not come up with an answer to this question so I am hoping someone here may know. I have been creating images using virt-manager in Scientific Linux 5. The xen configure file that is created by virt-manager uses the pygrub bootloader. The problem with this is I would like to boot the images without using pygrub and use a kernel and initrd from outside the image. I have tried using a few different partition schemes in the image, trying many variations in the /etc/fstab in the image along with variations in the xen configure file and none have been successful. As I said these are images that will boot with pygrub but I don''t want to use it here. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You can keep the primary kernel and initrd on the Dom0: take a look at the setups at www.jailtime.org for setups. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
