Re: [Xen-users] losetup /dev/loop0 /xen/centos.img failed

["lee hartley" <leeslist@xxxxxxxxx>]

yep, sorry...

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5xen"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.el5xen.img"
memory = 512
name = "centos.5-1"
vif = [ '' ]
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = ['file:/home/xen/centos51/centos.5-1.img,sda1,w',
'file:/home/xen/centos51/centos.swap,sda2,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

I thought I read somewhere to try doing it as ide (not sure it applies
here)....i assume to try that i would have to change the config file
to hdax and add an option somewhere...i looked in the xend conf, but
did not look like the right place...

thanks a lot for taking the time to have a look!
