[Xen-users] how to upgrade a linux guest OS under Xen

[mslemko <mslemko@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm having trouble upgrading a guest OS, and want to know what steps I 
should take to do that.
specifically I'm trying to upgrade a trixbox 2.3.x install to 2.4 (both 
are CentOS 5).
this is my situation:
- I'm using XenSource 3.0. I've burned a trixbox install CD and have it 
in the CD drive (/dev/hda).
- I have the same ISO mounted on another machine and served as a http 
source for the installation (just in case that is easier).
- I've selected the /dev/hda to be passed on to the guest, but it seems 
that it doesn't boot the guest OS with the CD.
- I can mount /dev/hda (the CD) in the guest.

Is there something I need to set to allow the guest to boot off that CD, 
or is there another way to upgrade.
I'm able to use the XenCenter, if there's a trick in there for this 
purpose too.
Thanks in advance,

-Mark
