Hi, all

I'm a Xen newbie who managed to install dom0 kernel and HVM guest.
By observing insufficient network performance and thruput, I'm trying to install  PV guest but I couldn't find any standardized documentations for it or ready-made VM image that I can download and just use.

What I tried so far are,

i) by using virt-install command
   #virt-install -n UbuntuPV -r 1024 -p --vnc -f /root/VMs/domu1.img -c ~/ubuntu.iso --debug
   ....
   ERROR    Paravirtualized guests cannot install off cdrom media.

ii) using xm create command with following template

 kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
 builder = 'hvm'
 memory = 2048
 name = "UbuntuPV"
 vcpus = 1
 extra="root=/dev/xvda1"
 vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=eth0' ]
 disk = [ 'file:/root/VMs/domu1.img,xvda,w','file:/root/ubuntu.iso,hdc:cdrom,r']
 device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
 vnc=1
 boot='d'


 # xm create test.py
 Using config file "./test.py".
 Error: Domain 'LucidPV' does not exist.


iii) using different template

 name="KarmicPV"
 memory=2048
 bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
 kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.13"
 ramdisk="/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.13"
 vif=['bridge=eth0']
 extra="root=/dev/xvda1"
 disk=['file:/root/VMs/domu0.img,xvda,w']
 vfb=['type=vnc,vncunused=1']

 ...
 Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!

but, all of above didn't worked out well.
Thanks for your help in advance
