Sorry, but I just get your message after I mine :) I try your tips,
and it seems to work... The initrd image is loaded and... I have a new
error message. I'll investigate on it asap, but for this week its over
:)

I'll try the "hda
option" next time.

For information about my xdi file, i create it with dd, mount it as a
loop device, format it with ext3 FS and after copy my "/" on it. I
choose use xdi extension on my own, but its stand for "Xen Disk
Image". Its not related with any other ext.

Bye :)

problem creating my 1st VM

[Dustin Henning]

	Since your xdi file is mounted loop and formatted ext3, it isn't
partitioned, so hda1 is probably the way to go.  It won't hurt to try it as
hda instead of hda1, but I don't expect that to help.  Good luck determining
your new problem.  Downloading a xen-ready fedora image from someone might
be what it takes to fix it, though, something from your real / filesystm
might not be compatible with the paravirtualized environment and might be
trying to access things that don't exist in said environment.  I am not sure
on that, but if documentation suggested it, I would think it would work.
