Re: AW: [Xen-users] XEN and Dapper - III

[sean@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello all,

I have now dd'ed the contents of the CD to an ISO file, booted against
this and still the same - nothing - no screen / window.

I have done this with and without sdl.

On doing the XM create image-name, I can see and hear CD and disk i/o and
then all is quiet as if the boot proces was waiting for screen input.

Without a screen / window this is difficult...


Any ideas????????

JC
