I would agree it's broken as I've also been unable to get guests to work "out of the box". I've found the problem to be a missing kernel module in the initrd, required for disk access (xenblk.ko). If I build an initrd with xenblk.ko included, guests boot fine. I just make an initrd this command: mkinitrd --with=xenblk.ko /boot/your_image_name.img your_kernelname Just use the kernel name from uname -a mkinitrd --with=xenblk.ko /boot/initrd_test.img 2.6.19-prepcifs_fix -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
