[Xen-devel] XCP: Xen tools problem with RedHat VMs?

["dwight at supercomputer.org" <dwight@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I came across an odd problem with adding the packages from the 
xs-tools.iso today. After mounting the ISO in a fresh CentOS 5.4 
VM, and doing the .../Linux/install.sh, I ended up with this in 
the VM's grub.conf:

----- Start of the new grub.conf entry ----------
title CentOS (2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.xs0.1.1.64xen)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.xs0.1.1.64
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.xs0.1.1.64xen ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
        module /initrd-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.xs0.1.1.64xen.img
----- End of the new grub.conf entry ----------

Now, having the Xen hypervisor running in a DomU would be exciting, 
but alas, xen.gz doesn't appear to have been installed.

So, I have to conclude that either:
    1. I'm missing this new DomU hypervisor.
    2. The documentation is wrong.
    3. The xs-tools ISO has a bug in it for the 0.1.1 XCP 
        installation with RedHat distros.

Truth to tell, I was given this VM to examine the problem, and 
didn't have time today to doublecheck the xs-tools.iso. I will do 
so tomorrow, but I wanted to get some feedback ASAP.

So I'm wondering if this is indeed a bug somewhere? And has anyone
added these tools to a CentOS/RedHat VM running on XCP 0.1.1?

If it is a bug, it would be really nice to get this fixed before 
the next release of XCP.

Thanks,
