Hello

i'm using Xen mainly to virtualize debian domUs on debian dom0 (lenny + xen 3.2.1 kernel package)

to install my debian DomUs, i use xen-tools with a .tar reference domU to create new debian domUs

i would like to install a paravirtualized (not HVM) Centos or Red Hat Enterprise domU by the standard install mode, Âi mean with anaconda with cd-rom or .iso file media or via nfs/http/ftp server

it is possible to use LV to store centos/rh disk and swap ?

i would also like to use the CentoS / RHEL domU kernel using pygrub

how can i do that ?

thank for your help and tips about this.

Arnaud

Arnaud, I did several tutorials based on other (much longer) tutorials that I still use. This one uses a disk image but you could modify it for an LV. This uses a kickstart file to do a partially automated install of CentOS5 over the network.
