Hi.
I've got Xen kernels booting from our LiveCD medias, and I'll attach the 
patch below.
There are a few things I'd like to go over though, if anyone has any 
opinions.

The main concerns I have are:
1) The dom0_mem= allocated values.
2) The ramdisk_size= values specified at 10000
3) The naming convention for the labels.

Chitlesh stated the other day he recieved "no space left on device" errors
and I would assume that is because of the tiny ramidsk_size allocated.
Chitlesh, what was the memory specs in the machine you were using when 
that happenned?

Also, with the dom0_mem= values, 65536 (64MB) is surely too small.
However, we can't expect anyone running a LiveCD to have gigabytes of 
RAM tucked into thier
machines. Likewise you can't expect to run Xen for any real purpose 
without enough RAM either.
If we could get some opinions on this, that would be great.

As it stands, the patch works great for non-Xen and Xen kernels and will 
decide what to
do considering what kernel was in fact installed. Perhaps a few others 
can test this and
send some feedback that would be good.

Thanks.
