You might want to try installing it as HVM guest first, then convert it to PV later. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
I have a paravirtualised installer for ubuntu 9.10 if you want it. 64 bit only. It''s a netboot install. On 17 February 2010 13:57, Fajar A.

You need to have pygrub and pv framebuffer support. Key lines from the config file are: disk = [ ''file:/export/iso/ubuntu/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r'' ] bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub" bootargs = "--kernel=/casper/vmlinuz --ramdisk=/casper/initrd.lz --args=\"file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu .seed boot=casper quiet splash --\"" Regards, James This message and the information contained herein is proprietary and confidential and subject to the Amdocs policy statement, you may review at http://www.amdocs.com/email_disclaimer.asp _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Download here: http://dmarkey.com/~dmarkey/ubuntu-9.10/images/xen Example: memory = 256 vcpus=1 name = "ubuntu-1" vif = [ ''bridge=eth0'' ] ## Pass a full disk disk = [''phy:/dev/system/ubuntu'',xvda,w''] kernel=''vmlinuz'' ramdisk="initrd.img" #bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub" When the install is finished, bootstrap using pygrub. Do *NOT* pass only partitions like [''phy:/dev/system/ubuntu'',*xvda1*,w'']. The install will fail. I''ve only tested it on my Xen machine and a XenServer machine. Its the standard Ubuntu server installer(console install). Tell me how it works for you!
