[Xen-users] Problems building a guest os on Fedora Core 5

[Peter Cornelius <peterc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having trouble getting any guest OSes to run on my Fedora Core  
build unless I use the xenguest-install.py script that comes with the  
Fedora distro.  I've tried building my own and grabbing images from  
http://jailtime.org/ but I get the same error every time.
Error: Kernel image does not exist: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5xenU

But the kernel image is in the guest os image:

[root@dhcp-158-32-168-192 ~]# mount -o loop /vmroot/system1/fc5 /mnt
[root@dhcp-158-32-168-192 ~]# ls /mnt/boot/
config-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5xenU  initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5xenU.img   
System.map-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5xenU
grub                          lost+found                         
vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5xenU
I've tried numerous configuration file changes, but this is what I  
have currently
name = "spawn02"
memory = 256
disk = [ 'file:/vmroot/system1/fc5,xvda,w' ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:1d:63:cf' ]
uuid = "1da7f026-6bcb-0aa5-c383-d30eedec932f"
#bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5xenU"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5xenU.img"

on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'

I've tried this with and withouth the ramdisk and using the pygrub  
boot loader instead of specifying the kernel in the config but it  
continues to fail for me.  I don't know if this is related but I  
noticed that the images created by the xenguest-install.py script  
cannot be mounted the way the ones built from the xen user guide  
can.  The 'file' command shows them as different types too:
[root@dhcp-158-32-168-192 ~]# file /vmroot/system1/fc5*
/vmroot/system1/fc5:   Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (large files)
/vmroot/system1/fc5.1: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x48

The fc5.1 is the image built by the xenguest-install.py script.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Thanks in advance
Peter C.
