Team,

I'm using an OpenSuSE 10.1 dom0 host at 2.6.16.13-4-xen with xen-3.0.2_09656-4.
(the stock configuration, I'd say)

Plop the DVD in the CDROM, fire up the install, the initrd is detected, linuxrc starts but fails with
Could not find the SUSE Linux Installation Source
Activating manual setup program.

OK, detach the block device, re-attach the block device (why, I don't know, because it's already seen the initrd from the CDROM)
# xm block-attach 1 phy:hda hda r

On reattach, my XTERM console window burps with
hda: unknown partition table
ata_id[896]: main: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/.tmp-3-0'

And that's as far as I get.  Any ideas?
