For HVM install :-

/bla/bla/../rhel53.iso

You can double check with virt-install command line manual.

Here's the question of creating a redhat5 hvm guest on redhat5 virtualization platform.

[root@localhost xen]# virt-install
Would you like a fully virtualized guest (yes or no)? This will allow you to run unmodified operating systems. yes
What is the name of your virtual machine? rh5_hvm
How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256
What would you like to use as the disk (file path)? /opt/redhat5hvm.img
Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) no
What is the virtual CD image, CD device or install location? ftp://129.22.0.201/pxe/rhel5_x86/

Starting install...
Retrieving file .treeinfo...    0 B 00:00
Retrieving file boot.iso. 100% |=========================| 6.9 MB 00:00
Creating domain...    0 B 00:01
No console available for domain

Domain installation still in progress. You can reconnect to
the console to complete the installation process.

Running "xm list", I can see the information:

[root@localhost xen]# xm list
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State   Time(s)
Domain-0    0 985    2 r----- 111.2
redhat5 1 511    1 -b----    32.8
rh5_disk    3 255    1 -b----    32.2
rh5_hvm 5 255    1 ------ 0.0

But when I try to login rh5_hvm using "xm console", I encountered an problem:

[root@localhost xen]# xm console 5
xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory

Thanks for help!
