Re: [Xen-users] Problems running Debian as Guest System on SLES10 Dom0

["Todd Deshane" <deshantm@xxxxxxxxx>]

its quite funny because sles 10 does not have any pygrub, the only way
to create vms is the domUloader.
yesterday I tried had some idea but i dont know if this is a good or a
worse idea maybe you can give my some feedback.

Why doesn't sles 10 have pygrub? pygrub comes with Xen.
 

ok i thought maybe its possible to create a block device with dd (the
normal way). than create a partition table on it and create some
partitions with filesystem on it. afterwards to mount this first
partition an do the installation stuff with debootstrap.....like i told
you i created a partition table...and now its possible to install grub
on the block-device, which can start and load the normal xen fixed
kernel from debian....

what do you think? a worse idea or a good idea ^^

For a PV guest, you can't boot directly with grub. You need to use either the kernel= parameter or use a bootloader of some kind.
