Re: [Xen-users] how to convert QEMU images to be used as Xen DomU's

> what qemu image format did you use?
I am not clear with the above Question how do I find out that.I used an LVM
the command is

qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /dev/virtualization/centos5-disk -hdb
/dev/virtualization/centos5-swap -boot d -cdrom /root/centos1.iso -m
1024 -net nic -net tap

So it is an LVM image if I understood your question correctly.

Ya I saw some thing similar on net and mailing lists too.

No.Never this is first time I am doing all this.

Ok does it have GUI to run over SSH,
I am doing all this on a server which does not have GUI at all and
accessing all via SSH.More over Dom0 of the server is Debian
Lenny.Have never used before so skittish about it.

I have uploaded a snapshot which showed me grub in bash booting CentOS
you can check it here.

Ok thanks for that.
I saw line number 49 you have mentioned to edit grub here is it
referring to grub on Dom0 or DomU which I am installing.

Thanks
