Hi,

for hours now, I am trying to upgrade a paravirtualized Opensuse 10.3 to
11.0. I turned it into a hvm machine, set boot="d", but I cannot get it
to work.
file:/os-images/opensuse_11.0_32bit.iso,xvdb:cdrom,r

results in
Booting from CD-Rom...
CDROM boot failure code : 0002
Boot from CD-Rom failed: could not read the boot disk
FATAL: No bootable device.

If I change xvdb to hdc, Suse's splash screen comes up, but without any
feedback, just a green screen with the Suse logo, nothing else.

Then I tried (with the aprropriate CD in the CDROM drive, of course)
phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r

I got
Error: Device 5632 (vbd) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

All I want is to boot either from an image or the physical CDROM.
The host runs xen 3.1.0.
Any help is appreciated,

Rainer
