Howdy,

I just tried creating a PV guest on my SLES 10 machine. Following are the basic steps I went through for that.

Under Yast/Xen - Add -> use a disk image or a physical disk that contains OS boot files -> disks -> Add -> create a new disk image (virtual disk = sda2, Source= /var/lib/xen/images/vm3/sda2) - > Accept -> Operating System Boot - > Partition containing boot files = sda2, xen Enabled Kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-xen, boot file(initrd):/boot/initrd-xen, boot option: TERM=xterm

When starting the PV guest I get the error message:

Kernel Panic - no syncing: No init found: try passing init= to kernel.

fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80032038912 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9730 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

What am I missing ? Thanks
