Hi,

You can't ask the yast2-xen module to do that.  But kicking the
installation manually is easy once you have the kernel and the initrd:

xm create -c -f /path/to/domU/config/file \
  kernel=/your/kernel \
  ramdisk=/initrd/created/by/mkinstinitrd \
  extra="install=http://your.mirror/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/";

You might want to add "vnc=1 vncpassword=your&secret&here" or
"textmode=1" to the kernel command line.


So would you suggest to unpack the kernel from the 10.2 CDs, build a
new kernel and mkinstinird and it "should" run? I will give it a try.

Maybe for explanation, I'm receiving these errors while trying to use
the "normal" yast way:

But I will try to use a 10.2 kernel.
