Ok I downloaded the vmlinuz and initrd from

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/xen/

 I am not clear here if I need to create a bridge before I begin the install.
By the time of writing this message I had not configured any bridge.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/1/vm1.img bs=4096k count=1024
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/1/vm1-swap.img bs=1024k count=512

I want to also mention an entry of my /etc/fstab file

UUID=a20a4466-24bc-42c5-93e2-2193e99847b5 /mnt/1  ext2 defaults 0 0
the /mnt/1 is basically always mounted so I mentioned

here is my /etc/xen/ubuntu.vm


===============================================
memory = "512"
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:BD:96:42, bridge=xenbr0, vifname=u-e0' ]
disk =  [
       'file:/mnt/1/vm1.img,xvda1,w','file:/mnt/1/vm1-swap.img,xvda2,w'
       ]
vcpus=1
kernel = "/home/tapas/Documents/ISO\'s/forvm/vmlinuz"
ramdisk = "/home/tapas/Documents/ISO\'s/forvm/initrd.gz"
vfb=[ "type=vnc,vncunused=1,vnclisten=0.0.0.0" ]
dhcp ="off"
ip="192.168.1.7"
netmask="255.255.255.0"
gateway="192.168.1.1"
hostname="vm01.ubuntu"

===============================================
Now when I do
xm create -c /etc/xen/ubuntu.vm
Two things

1) Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.
2) I do not see any thing happening on my screen i.e. in bash if it is
possible to see some out put
as progress then I will be able to understand some thing how can that
be possible?
