Re: [Xen-users] Installing PV image from CDROM
Thanks Todd.
Could you please elaborate a bit more about what is wrong with CDROM ?
Also,
* I am ready to recreate/update initrd if required.
* Any specific changes in Xen ? What version of Xen would this work on ? What
type of change was made ?
* What xen drivers are available for use with PV VMs ?
I searched the archive for cdrom parvirtualized, pv etc.. but no good hit.
Thanks
