Hello, FC5 Xen folks.
When I tried to install Xen3.0 on FC5, it has failed in making a guest OS image.
It seems to be because that pygrub.py can not recognize my dom0 menu.lst correctly.
Or, maybe it is wrong that I used LVM, but this is default of current FC5 (Why?).
BTW, I am testing FC5 Xen dom0 on VMware 5.5.1, and it runs, although
many guys have reported that it has a lot of trouble.
For me, the problem is not VMware or dom0, but installer of domU.
Any help?
