Re: Re[2]: [Xen-devel] Unable to Configure Xen Dom 0 in Jeremy's PVOPS K

I switched to using PV-Grub and used xm create -c to start the guest domain. However, all I get is a grubdom prompt.

Hi Sander
 
I added boot to kernel and initrd in the grub config of the centos 4.7 pv guest but it still doesn't work.

Hi Sander,
 
The grub config in the centos 4.7 pv guest was automatically added by centos installer.

Hello Teo,

Are you sure the path in your grub menu is correct ?
Shouldn't you add /boot infront of vmlinuz and initrd ?

Sander
