I've got CentOS VM's running fine, and have done them before. But previously, I deployed the same base OS on the VM as on the Xen server, so paravirtualization posed few risks. And I had control of the DHCP setup. so I could trivially set up a tftp server to do a non-CD installation, because Xen, at last look, doesn't support installing a paravirtualized host from a CD image. So I'm right back to my effectively unanswered original questions. So please: I asked a very specific pair of questions, and they remain unanswered. CentOS 5 Xen server (hypervisor, or Dom0, whatever we want to call it this week): Does CentOS 6 work, paravirtualized, on such a server? And given my deployment issues, does anyone have a base OS image I can get a copy of? _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
