It looks like it expects you to have a pre-compiled domU kernel that contains all needed modules, on you host /boot directory. I don't know which kernel image the author of those images expects you to use. Some things you can try: - Checking the instructions on the README.txt inside the image, as noted on <http://jailtime.org/download:fedora:fc6>. Maybe there are some clues there; or - Try to generate a initrd that will contain all needed modules. You can play with the --omit-* and --with options of mkinitrd to get a initrd with the right modules; or - Try using the Xen kernel and initrd from the FC-6 repository: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/images/xen/ or - Get a domU kernel with all needed modules compiled as builtin (so you don't need a initrd) from somewhere, or compile a domU kernel this way; or - Put a valid grub configuration (and a kernel-xen package) inside the image, to get pygrub to work; or - Use virt-manager and install your own FC-6 system instead of using the downloaded image. -- Eduardo -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
