Please read correctly..

From #5 you have the instruction on how to modify your initrd on the Host to make it bootable from anythings USB like..

Sorry my android device shown me only first page. 

eg:

Do THIS b4 the first boot on a second console:

mkdir /tmp/sda
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /tmp/sda

To thank you I suggest here to do avoid copy and do:

mount -t sysfs /sys /tmp/sda/sys

Then chroot /tmp/sda and continue from original

 

chmod -R 664 /sys/block
cp -R /sys/block /tmp/sda/sys/
# Ignore I/O errors
chroot /tmp/sda
cd /boot
mv initrd-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.xs5.5.0.505.1024xen.img initrd-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.xs5.5.0.505.1024xen.img.old
mkinitrd --with-usb initrd-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.xs5.5.0.505.1024xen.img 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.xs5.5.0.505.1024xen

replace the version numers with your's..

Ok thanks for the reply but the link in the wiki is wrong: it sends me to a page that helps people with keys less than 16GB

Hi there,

the Probleme is not the rootdelay, but the USB Support which is missing
in the initrd..

Follow this instructions to fix it:

http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XCP_FAQ_General#Can_I_install_XCP_to_a_USB_drive_.2F_SD_Card

but be warned: for sdcard and usbkey did not run stable.

greetings,
Bastian
