Hi,

I'm having trouble upgrading a guest OS, and want to know what steps I should take to do that.

specifically I'm trying to upgrade a trixbox 2.3.x install to 2.4 (both are CentOS 5).

this is my situation:
- I'm using XenSource 3.0. I've burned a trixbox install CD and have it in the CD drive (/dev/hda). - I have the same ISO mounted on another machine and served as a http source for the installation (just in case that is easier). - I've selected the /dev/hda to be passed on to the guest, but it seems that it doesn't boot the guest OS with the CD.
- I can mount /dev/hda (the CD) in the guest.

Is there something I need to set to allow the guest to boot off that CD, or is there another way to upgrade.

I'm able to use the XenCenter, if there's a trick in there for this purpose too.

Thanks in advance,

-Mark
