Hello
guys,
I am using the Xen server on a
virtual box. I am doing this because I just wanna test. And this is the easiest
way. I wondered that I could not use HVM guests. And that is why I am trying to
create a Linux virtual machine.
I double
checked the document:
http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/5.6.0fp1/1.0/en_gb/guest.html#installingVM-lenny
And here
are the commands that I am using and the outputs that I am receiving:

So, guys
after you see the steps that I am using, Do you have any idea of the
problem?
Thanks,

Can you double check what you are doing against:
http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/5.6.0fp1/1.0/en_gb/guest.html

So you are using XCP installed in a virtual box instance? You may run
into a problem for HVM guests if you virtual box can't pass through
the virtualization extensions properly, but for PV guest things
should
work fine.
Thanks,
