We only support creating guests which boot from a locally attached storage device - since pygrub has to access the disk in dom0 to etract the boot kernel & initrd. If you want to use iSCSI, then you'll need to create a diskless guest, and keep its kernel/initrd in dom0 rather than using pygrub. None of the tools are able to help with such a setup though, so its a mnual process. > If i was doing a straight FC6 install i could select an iSCSI target as > the target drive. Basically create yourself a guest config in /etc/xen, and have it explicitly boot the kernel/init you pull from $INSTALL_URL/images/xen to get started. Then after install copy the newer kernel / initrd back to Dom0 Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
