Thanks, Mats. I was able to get it working using VNC and then setting up the console display in the guest VM.
Thanks,
Nidhi

Hi,
I am trying to set up fully virtualized guest VMs (Fedora core 6) on Xen -3.1 on a AMD Opteron SVM enabled system (blade with 2 dual cores). I followed the instructions in the user manual to create an image of the OS. I have included the configuration file that I am using and also information using xm info. I am a newbie to Xen installation and would really appreciate help and suggestions.
Following is the error message I get when I try the command xm create -c xmexample.hvm
Using config file "./xmexample.hvm".
Started domain HVM1
Unexpected error: exceptions.OSError
