Hmm, looks like the page needs some updating ...

Some patches by the solaris guys for pygrub made booting sles (and
opensuse) easier in xen 3.1 (I think 3.0.4 too).  You can simply put
these lines into your config file ...

   kernel=/boot/vmlinux-xen
   ramdisk=/boot/initrd-xen
   bootloader=/usr/bin/pygrub

... and pygrub will go and pull kernel+ramdisk from the guest disk
without looking for a config file on the guest disk.  No need for
domUloader any more.

I know that SLES10SP1 will run on RHEL5.1beta - I'm running a PV guest.
I ended up copying the vmlinux-xenpae and initrd-xenpae outside of the guest - on the dom0 filesystem.
I didn't debug too deeply but using reiserfs was probably by first mistake ,,,,,,,



HTH,

PS: all IIRC, havn't actually tried that for some time.
