Hi, add/update the next 2 lines, the first: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/sda7,hda,w'', ''phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r'' ] # where the important is the cdrom drive, where your iso file located. the second: boot="cd" # the boot process will start from the disk, assuming there is no boo in your hard-disk, otherwise you can change the order to "dc" instead of cd good luck. ________________________________ From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Robbie A.

are there any web how to''s you can reference? I use xen-tools to deplay most of my Vm''s and the way I do this is by a direct copy from a mounted Xen image to the ''empty hard drive'' of the new Vm. -----Original Message----- From: Pasi Kärkkäinen [mailto:pasik@iki.fi] Sent: Sunday, October 11, 2009 5:42 AM To: Robbie A.

http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2008/12/11/ubuntu-hardy-hvm-vs-pv-domu-at-opensolaris-200811-dom0/ It would be just easier at Xen Linux Dom0. The core steps are the same. 1. No zvols ( just /dev/sda(X)) 2. No need disable checksum offloading if Dom0 is on top of Linux vs OSOL. Boris. --- On Sun, 10/11/09, Robbie A. Garrett <RGarrett@hostourweb.com> wrote: From: Robbie A.
