Historically SUSE never provided pre-built kernel/initrds for Xen installation. So, deleteing this code is not the correct approach. It should first probe for the pre-built image paths, and fallback to the existing code if those are missing. > + kernelpath = "boot/i386/vmlinuz-xenpae" > + initrdpath = "boot/i386/initrd-xenpae" > > (this is obviously just for i386, might want to do something a little more > elaborate to detect if arch is x86_64) On a i386 host, it obviously only needs to look for the i386 directory, but on a x86_64 host, it would need to look for both x86_64 and then try the i386 dir if that fails.
