[Xen-users] I can''t install PV ubuntu in my CentOS5.5 based xen

Hi,

I''m using the build-in xen with centOS5.5. The xen version here is 
3.1.2-194.26.1.el5.

I have succeeded install Debian Lenny on-line with the address " 
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/ "

And my full command to setup Xen is "/virt-install -n aaronXEN -r 256 
--vcpus=2 --check-cpu --disk path=/dev/mapper/crhGroup-aaronXEN 
--location 
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386//"

I also want to install a uBuntu OS in my Xen. I''ve tried the on-line 
address 
"http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/".
But
it doesn''t work.

It gives the error message below:

    /[root@CentOS-X ~]# virt-install -n uBuntu -r 256 --vcpus=2
    --check-cpu --disk path=/dev/mapper/crhGroup-aaronXEN --location
    http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/
    --force

         raise ValueError(_("Could not find a kernel path for virt type

    ValueError: Could not find a kernel path for virt type
''xen''
    /

And how can I fix it?
