Hi all,
 
When i start xen guest from console all is OK but
i have this error if i try to start from SSH:
 
[root@fedora bin]# /usr/sbin/xm create -c virtual7
Using config file "/etc/xen/virtual7".
 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 258, in ?
    curses.wrapper(run_main)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/curses/wrapper.py", line 44, in wrapper
    return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds)
  File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 214, in run_main
    sel = main(cf)
  File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 162, in main
    (stdscr, win) = draw_window()
  File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 33, in draw_window
    curses.use_default_colors()
_curses.error: use_default_colors() returned ERR
Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!
 
 
Any Ideas ?
Thanks
