Hi all, I tried to create a virtual machine via xen using *xm create -c xenconfigfile*(xencentos) --> this is my config file.. My host OS is Centos 5.5 and the image i tried to boot is a fedora image. I am enclosing herewith the messages that were received via xen on giving xm create command. Please help me in solving out this issue.
