[Xen-users] help launching a Centos 5.5 Xen PV guest on an OpenSuse 11.2 Dom0 host ?

[0bo0 <0.bugs.only.0@xxxxxxxxx>]

i've Opensuse 11.2 Xen Dom0,

       lsb_release -dr
               Description:    openSUSE 11.2 (x86_64)
               Release:        11.2

       uname -a
               Linux server 2.6.34-42-xen #1 SMP 2010-06-01 15:17:00
+0200 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


       rpm -qa | grep -i xen
               xen-libs-4.0.0_21087_01-38.1.x86_64
               kernel-xen-devel-2.6.34-42.1.x86_64
               xen-tools-4.0.0_21087_01-38.1.x86_64
               kernel-xen-2.6.34-42.1.x86_64
               xen-4.0.0_21087_01-38.1.x86_64

I build & run numerous OpenSuse DomUs -- no issues.

I need to netinstall a Centos 5.5 PV'd DomU Guest on this host.

Using the procedure & config below, it starts to boot -- then hangs,
with not much useful debugging info ... at least, not to my eye,
where/how I'm looking.

If someone could once-over the following, and make any
suggestions/hints as to what's up, it'd be appreciated!

Here's the current step-by-step:

lvcreate -n vm_boot -L 160M /dev/VG0
lvcreate -n vm_swap -L 512M /dev/VG0
lvcreate -n vm_root -L 8G   /dev/VG0

mkdir -p /home/xen/centos55/xenboot/

setenv DL "http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.5";
cd /home/xen/centos55
 wget $DL/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-netinstall.iso
cd ./xenboot/
