Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Fedora 6 DomU creation problem
Henning, 

I have tried the yum install a couple times and it seems to build out
everything but when I'm done it doesn't seem to have grub installed.  If
I wanted to install a fully virtualized instance this way is there a
simple way to install the boot loader via yum?

When I install grub via yum it only installs /boot/grub/spash.something.

Any ideas?

Gary Wayne Smith
