I expect the images you have downloaded have a valid grub configuration inside it. If they have it, you can use: bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub" Instead of specifying a kernel that is outside the disk image. Pygrub will be able to read grub configuration and kernel/initrd images from inside the disk image. -- Eduardo -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
