This is probably more for the xen-users list, but here is the only
post I found about somebody doing etherboot with xen hvm, which I am
trying currently without luck.
Does your mail mean that with xen-testing at the moment my efforts to
try booting xen hvm with an etherboot image and pxe cannot succeed?

When booting from the etherboot iso, I get
"Loading pcnet32.zli....Ready"

but no dhcp requests or anything happens.  xm dmesg's last lines are:

(XEN) (GUEST: 60) Booting from CD-Rom...
(XEN) (GUEST: 60) Unknown opcode at 0F60:0E8A=0x1048A
(XEN) (GUEST: 60) Halt called from %eip 0xD39D1

No interesting info xend-debug.log

I'd be a candidate for testing xen pxe solutions, because I really
want to use it.

Henning
