Create Lucid HVM via virt-install and load same image via pygrub,
without switching /boot/grub/grub.cfg to no UUID mode on HVM

Dear *,

I'm more used to work with RedHat like OSes. Still, I did not denied the request from a user who wants a domU based on ubunto. I usually use virt-install to do the job, with a script similar to this one:

#!/bin/sh
BASE=SL-4.7-i386-pv \
virt-install --nographics    \
   --nonsparse \
   --paravirt    \
   --noreboot    \
   --file-size=4 \
   --ram=512 \
   --vcpus=1 \
   --name=$BASE-`date +%d%m%y`    \
   --file=$BASE-`date +%d%m%y`.img \
   --location=ftp://linuxsoft.cern.ch/scientific/47/i386/

I tried several --location values for ubunto (e.g. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/ )
but I'm always getting the following error:

Starting install...
ERROR Could not find an installable distribution at 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images'

Can someone point me to the right direction? Clearly I'm missing something, probably virt-install only works for RH like. Also open to suggestions of installing domU's using other methods.
Thank you,
N.
