What's the kernel image and initrd file used for > virt-install in order to carry out the installation process? When you supply a NFS/HTTP/FTP url to virt-install, it will take that URL and try to fetch the 2 files $URL/images/xen/vmlinuz and $URL/images/xen/initrd.img for the remote site. It saves those two files to /var/lib/xen/images and then boots the VM - the files are removed once the VM has started. > I need that > information because i want use the cobbler/koan tools in order to > provision virtual machines remotely, but when i submit the command You'll want to grab the vmlinuz & initrd.img files out of $URL/images/xen and give them to cobbler when setting up the profile.
