Hello there,
I have tried to create an HVM domainU guest , but the "template" I
have used
and modified on the basis of my system doesn''t work.
The template is:
_________________________________________

import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search(''64'', arch):
    arch_libdir = ''lib64''
else:
    arch_libdir = ''lib''

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Kernel image file.
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"

# The domain build function. HVM domain uses ''hvm''.
builder=''hvm''

# Initial memory allocation (in megabytes) for the new domain.
#
# WARNING: Creating a domain with insufficient memory may cause out of
#          memory errors. The domain needs enough memory to boot kernel
#          and modules. Allocating less than 32MBs is not recommended.
memory = 128

# Shadow pagetable memory for the domain, in MB.
# If not explicictly set, xend will pick an appropriate value.
# Should be at least 2KB per MB of domain memory, plus a few MB per vcpu.
# shadow_memory = 8

# A name for your domain. All domains must have different names.
name = "ExampleHVMDomain"

# 128-bit UUID for the domain.  The default behavior is to generate a new UUID
# on each call to ''xm create''.
#uuid = "06ed00fe-1162-4fc4-b5d8-11993ee4a8b9"

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The number of cpus guest platform has, default=1
#vcpus=1

# Enable/disable HVM guest PAE, default=1 (enabled)
#pae=1

# Enable/disable HVM guest ACPI, default=1 (enabled)
#acpi=1

# Enable/disable HVM APIC mode, default=1 (enabled)
# Note that this option is ignored if vcpus > 1
#apic=1

# List of which CPUS this domain is allowed to use, default Xen picks
#cpus = ""         # leave to Xen to pick
#cpus = "0"        # all vcpus run on CPU0
#cpus = "0-3,5,^1" # run on cpus 0,2,3,5

# Optionally define mac and/or bridge for the network interfaces.
# Random MACs are assigned if not given.
#vif = [ ''type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, bridge=xenbr0,
model=ne2k_pci'' ]
# type=ioemu specify the NIC is an ioemu device not netfront
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ]

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Define the disk devices you want the domain to have access to, and
# what you want them accessible as.
# Each disk entry is of the form phy:UNAME,DEV,MODE
# where UNAME is the device, DEV is the device name the domain will see,
# and MODE is r for read-only, w for read-write.

#disk = [ ''phy:hda1,hda1,r'' ]
disk = [ ''file:/var/images/min-el3-i386.img,hda,w'',
'',hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
