I do this sort of thing pretty regularly with the files in the
images/xen directory on the CentOS cd. I use a config file like the
following, and just do a "xm create -c norman" or "xm create -c norman
mode=install".
John
# Xen config file for norman, the mail guy
#
# use "xm create [-c] <hostname>" to start; add "mode=install" to reinstall!
#
# modify the next block at a minimum
name = "norman"
memory = "128" # memory for normal operation
ip = "192.168.7.8"
disk = ['phy:domU/norman,xvda,w',
'phy:domU/mail,xvdb1,w', ]
# change this if you want to add extra interfaces
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:ee:' + ":".join(ip.split('.')[1:4]) + ', bridge=intbr', ]
#
# probably, for paravirt, we don't have to change anything below here
#
vcpus=1
nographic=1
ksfile = "http://summerlite.foobar.com/distro/bigu/kickstart/ks-"; + name
+ ".cfg"
uuid = "99806a2d-827e-da4d-4131-fc32" + ''.join(map(lambda
x:"%02X"%int(x),ip.split('.')))
# test if mode variable is defined
try:
mode
except NameError:
mode = 'normal'
if mode == 'normal':
# this is for after install
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
else:
# these are for install
#
memory = "512"
kernel = "/v/xen/images/vmlinuz-centos-5.1-x86_64"
ramdisk = "/v/xen/images/initrd-centos-5.1-x86_64.img"
extra = "text console=xvc0 ks=" + ksfile
extra = extra + " dns=192.168.7.5"
extra = extra + " gateway=192.168.7.1"
extra = extra + " ip=" + ip
extra = extra + " netmask=255.255.255.0"
on_reboot = 'destroy'
on_crash = 'destroy'

disclaimer - I don't use centos, so I have very little clue... here
are some ideas tho...
is there a debootstrap equivalent for CentOS?
Have a search for 'Centos network install' or 'centos kickstart'.and
perhaps 'centos xen guest' and see what you come up with.
Hope ths helps

Hi there,
I'm trying to set up a Centos DomU over my Debian with Xen and I've
been searching all around google without good results. I think I'm not
searching properly.
Can anybody give me a tip, o maybe a how-to about it?
Right now I've a little problem with this and it's giving me this error message:
xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory
Any ideas?
Thanks :-)

Maybe I didn't explain myself well enough... I just wanna know how to
install any linux distro from a cd or a iso image.
As I said in my previous mail, maybe I'm not searching well...
That's it.
Thanks again...
