Hi Fajar,

Your first paragraph is what I meant. Do you have recommended website for complete/detailed howto guides for procedure? Thanks!


In RHEL/Centos you can simply use virt-manager (the easy way), and it will setup domU to boot with pygrub by default. Detailed steps is available on Redhat/Centos manual.
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Virtualization/sect-Virtualization-Installing_guests-Create_a_guest_using_virt_manager.html

Another alternative would be here
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingCentOSDomU
which shows how install domU using network install, without virt-manager.

Fajar

Cheers,

        Hi All,

        Is it possible to compile/use updated linux kernel on guest?
        My xen guest is currently using my kernel host? I really don't
        know if it will work or that way.


    If you mean to ask "is it possible for guests (domU) to use kernel
    located on their own filesystem instead of the one located on the
    host's (dom0)", then the answer is yes. Install kernel-xen on domU
    and boot it with with pygrub.
