I've got it working on Hardy (native 3.2) Dom0 :-

http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/110642/index.html

Intrepid Xen 3.3 Hypervisor may be back ported to Hardy Dom0 :-

http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/112045/index.html

and i believe http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/110642/index.html
may be reproduced at Xen 3.3 Hardy Dom0 (2.6.24-22-xen)

In case of Xen 3.3 complete port to Ubuntu Hardy , in general, it should (?) work as well,
but instead  of native vmlinuz-2.6.24-22-xen your system is driven by
vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen. View changes in profile.

I am trying to install CentOS from an ISO image file but the installer does 
not see a CD-ROM drive. The VNC viewer works but the CentOS installer
indicates "Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this
installation type." Then it prompts with "[Select driver] [Use a
driver
disk] [Back]". I have tried several variations of the "disk"
paramater, all
with the same results. I also used losetup to attach the imate to /dev/loop0
and tried the commented out "disk" parameters with the same results.

xen is 3.3
OS is Ubuntu 8.04

1 name = "cos52"
2 memory = 128

I've commented out this entries (B.D.)
************************************************************
# disk = [ 'file:/etc/xen/iso/COS52.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r',
'phy:/dev/vg00/elastix,xvda1,w' ]
#disk = [ 'phy:loop0,hdc,r','phy:/dev/vg00/elastix,xvda1,w' ]

Any suggestions?
