[Xen-users] Installing PV image from CDROM

[J Newbie <j_nwb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
  I am trying to create a new CentOS 5.1 PV image via installation.
  Host is F8 with Xen. 

  I pulled out kernel and initrd from CentOS 5.1 cdrom(DVD) (from images/xen 
location)
  I have the config file that points to the saved kernel and ramdisk, looks 
like the following. CDROM is pointing to an ISO. (I tried both tap:aio and file 
for cdrom.. no change in behavior)
  
  The VM starts, it does give a message loading xenblk driver. But the 
installer can not detect cdrom. Any idea on what driver cdrom would use ? and 
why it is not working/detecting it ? Also in the list of drivers to select from 
I am not seeing the xen specific drivers.

  I have also attached the VM startup messages if they help. 

Thanks in advance.
