Re: [Xen-users] No filesystem could mount root

Fajar,

Thank you for your reaction.

This is the documentation that I have used :

http://www.howtoforge.com/centos_5.0_xen
http://planet.admon.org/howto/install-windows-xp-in-xen-centos/
http://www.virtuatopia.com/index.php/Installing_and_Running_Windows_XP_or_Vista_as_a_Xen_HVM_domainU_Guest
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-run-fully-virtualized-guests-hvm-with-xen-3.2-on-debian-lenny-x86_64
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen

It is mostly for installing Windows from cdrom and so I thought I had it adapted to my Endian installation.
I want to install endian firewall, which I need to install from cdrom or iso-mage.

Could you point me to a good documentation or tutorial ???

My Intel processor does not support hardware virtualisation, so I should be able to use Xen for full virtualisation (like I did before with VirtualBox).

Kind regards,

Jonas.
