Hi Pat & all,

With my toying with installing SL7 as a Xen guest, I've found an issue
that I'd like to experiment with...

Pat: Can you please tell me or point me to how you create the vmlinux /
initrd for the pxeboot images?

I'm pretty sure that I have to turn on the following options:
CONFIG_XEN_FBDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_KBDDEV_FRONTEND=y

As such, I'd like to try building the same vmlinuz / initrd with both
those two options enabled.

This should allow a proper unattended install of SL7 as a Xen guest. The
pain in the backside is that they also have to be enabled in the SL7
kernel package that needs to be installed - but I have other ways around
that.... (i think).
