Anyhow, the simplest solution is to use Qemu to install the VM.  If the
resulting VM boots on Xen, then you're all set, otherwise you'll have to
tweak the bootloader to not do so much hairy stuff (or replace it with
another on).


Hmm, not sure if that works. Some things might work with qemu, some
not. I had some live cd's I wanted to try with xen hvm, and failed,
but they also did not work in qemu. (I am not sure now, if that qas a
qemu running on the same machine as xen, and the original qemu might
be broken by parts of the xen install that also uses qemu.

I think ulteos was an example of this, and I also read somewhere that
there are "splashscreen problems".

But another thing that comes to my mind and I wonder why I never
tried: cannot a cd iso be booted as PV domain, also, assuming I don't
enable module in my kernel?
So, that would work for Linux live cd's at least.
