Re: [Xen-users] Installing domU from ISO image file
I''ve got it working on Hardy (native 3.2) Dom0 :-
http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/110642/index.html
Intrepid Xen 3.3 Hypervisor may be back ported to Hardy Dom0 :-
http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/112045/index.html
and i believe http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/110642/index.html
may be reproduced at Xen 3.3 Hardy Dom0 (2.6.24-22-xen)
In case of Xen 3.3 complete port to Ubuntu Hardy , in general, it should (?)
work as well,
but instead of native vmlinuz-2.6.24-22-xen your system is driven by
vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen. View changes in profile.

I am trying to install CentOS from an ISO image file but the installer does
not see a CD-ROM drive. The VNC viewer works but the CentOS installer
indicates "Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this
installation type." Then it prompts with "[Select driver] [Use a
driver
disk] [Back]". I have tried several variations of the "disk"
paramater, all
with the same results. I also used losetup to attach the imate to /dev/loop0
and tried the commented out "disk" parameters with the same results.
xen is 3.3
OS is Ubuntu 8.04
1 name = "cos52"
2 memory = 128

I get the same results. There is no change. Now use vncviewer to connect to the session and try to do an install. See if it finds the "CD-ROM". See if it says "No driver found" and prompts for "Select driver" so it can find the CD-ROM. Thanks!
