Hi, all
    After I create a VM from "Other install media" template and add an ISO as 
CD to it, I can start the vm without error.
    But when I try to find out which vnc port to connect using 

[root@yueyuxcp ~]# xenstore-ls /local/domain/3/serial/0
tty = "/dev/pts/5"

I can't find the vnc port here.

Then I try to shut it down

[root@yueyuxcp ~]# xe vm-shutdown uuid=28cbafc1-f321-6d2f-a157-4330bc302dff 
You attempted an operation on a VM which requires PV drivers to be installed 
but the drivers were not detected.
vm: 28cbafc1-f321-6d2f-a157-4330bc302dff (ubuntuFromCD)

I then try to use the /usr/lib/xen/bin/xenconsole 3 to connect the console, it 
froze there.

I'm wondering if this template needs a PV aware kernel to boot? How can I make 
a template that can install a HVM from ISO directly. 

In XCP 0.5, all installation is based on repository. How can I add my own 
template? 

The vm-list for this VM looks like below:

[root@yueyuxcp ~]# xe vm-list params=all
