Hi all, Well I''ve managed to waste a day on this. Posted a similar message earlier today on the fedora list and got no nibbles. I read every article in the archives regarding pxebooting; there is no mention of it in the wiki. I have a box with two kernels, a standard fedora 6 and a xen fedora 6. Both boot fine. I''ve setup another server with dhcp and tftpboot and can now remote boot into the standard fc6 kernel and initrd, but I can''t figure out how to get xen/domain0 to boot that way. There are users who posted to this list that are using pxeboot into dom0 but they had other questions about iSCSI or aoe. None of them included their pxeboot.cfg entry. Would somebody be so kind as to post their pxeboot stanza for xen/dom0? TIA!

Here''s what worked for me. /tftpboot/pxeboot.cfg/default LABEL xen MENU LABEL fc6-xen 2.6.20-1.2948xen KERNEL mboot.c32 APPEND /images/xen.gz-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 dom0_mem=262144 --- /images/vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6xen ro root=/dev/vg0/root rhgb quiet --- /images/initrd-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6xen.img NB that the 3 hyphens are required between the APPEND sections and they are all on one line. As a side note: There is an easy to follow set of instructions for setting up a pxeboot environment at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup :m) _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
