Hi Frederick,<br><br> it depends a bit on wether you run a PVM or a HVM, but in latter case I<br>got very good results with booting from the mini.iso: <br>http://<repo>/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso

<br>DomU from <a href="http://jailtime.org" target="_blank">jailtime.org</a>. Lots of my own issues, discovering other people<br>having the same exact problems, but no solutions. So I installed<br>debootstrap and xen-tools and tried that. Again like many other people
<br>I ran into the "VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or<br>unknown-block(0,0)" issue. I have not figured out why the cfg file is<br>not being generated in /etc/xen, but I have gotten it to generate images
<br>using the file image and LVM (creating the Logical Volumes). I just<br>hand coded the cfg file. After they were generated, I mounted both<br>images and noticed that neither had hda1 or hda2 device files in /dev.<br>
That would seem to be a problem. Please help! A link to tutorial or<br>answer would be fabulous. The only thing I have not tried yet is using<br>pygrub and bundling the kernel and .img files with the guest and not<br>using the fc8xen kernel and images in the Dom0's boot folder. Thank you
