Re: [Xen-users] Howto install domU CentOS 5 directly on partition

Hi.
I am new to CentOS (Debian user) and I am looking for way how to
install CentOS 5 on domU in the way that I have it directly on dom0
LVM partition.
If I install it with virtual-manager then the installation program
takes that partition as a disk and then creates new partitions on it.
I don't want it that way because I cannot then mount it from dom0.
Is there some way how to install it directly on partition as for
example in Debian with debootstrap?
Only by manually building a tarball of a working OS image, and laying it
onto your partitions directly. Take a look at www.jailtime.org for
samples. Note that pygrub, and grub itself, *will not work* if you do
this. Grub needs to see a disk, not just partitions, for various
configuration reasons. This may be soluble in the long term, but I
lacked time to play iwth it.
Why not use partitions on partitions, and use "kpartx" to make them
accessible from the Dom0?
