For some reason the patch wants to fail on a few hunks. Although pygrub is not necessary, I do have one question... is the "kernel" and "ramdisk" options in the config file to load a kernel and ramdisk image from the dom0 filesystem still usable in xen 3.4.2? I use them on all my domu's on my ubuntu8.04 running xen 3.2 at home. I just figured this would be the easiest way to load ubuntu 10.04 on my centos 5.5 dom0 here at work. Any thoughts? -- Donny B.
