I tried it. But with no luck. If I use a Linux installation CD everything works but if I use a CD with gpxe-git-rtl8139.iso, gPXE starts as HVM domU but then it gets stuck after printing "Loading rtl8139.....Ready"

This is the configuration file I used for the domU (the CD contains gpxe-git-rtl8139.iso).

kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
device_model='/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
memory=1024
name="gpxe"
vif=[ 'type=ioemu, bridge=eth1, mac=00:01:02:03:04:05, model=rtl8139' ]
disk= [ 'file:/scratch/xenguest.img,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
sdl=0
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
vncconsole=1
vncpasswd=''
boot='dc'

Thanks
