Really? I didn't know that. Glad I sticked with RH's version of Xen :D

Michael, you might find it easier to also look at here
http://bderzhavets.blogspot.com/2008/01/install-opensolaris-snv78-domu-at.html

It's for CentOS/RHEL 5.1 x86_64, using RH's version of Xen, with a minor 
edit for blkif.py.
It also uses a spesific version of Opensolaris (b78), but any later 
version should work as well.
In my setup, I've tested b75a and b79b, both worked fine. However, after 
the install process completed, instead of copying the updated 
boot-archive to dom0, I simply modify xen config file to use pygrub. 
Copying doesn't work because at the time the network (in my case anyway) 
was unusable (xnf:xnf_cksum_offload = 0 was not activated yet).
There is a bug though : everytime the solaris domU is restarted, a 
zombie domain appears. I was told this was fixed in recent versions of 
Xen, but since I only use it for testing purposes I decided to wait for 
RHEL 5.2.

Fajar
