I installed SL5 on the machine, with virtualization included. I then created a disk partition for the guest and put an image of one of our SL5 workstations on it. I created a config file from xmexample1 in /etc/xen, pointing the disk at the partition I set up and specifying the same kernel and initrd that the domain 0 machine has. Did an "xm create -c" with that config file. No juy. I copied the kernel and initrd from a postresql virtual appliance that I downloaded, into /boot, pointed the config file entries at that, and it boots. thanks, Steve
