(no output)

# egrep -v "(^$|^\#)" /etc/xen/cos52.cfg
name = "cos52"
memory = 512

Please,run before starting install :-   

#losetup /dev/loop0 /etc/xen/iso/COS52.iso

Verify loop device is present:-

# losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [080b]:1046765 (/etc/xen/iso/COS52.iso)

Cat and paste into profile :-

disk = ['phy:/dev/loop0,hdc:cdrom,r','phy:/dev/vg00/elastix,xvda,w']
vif = [ 'bridge=eth1' ]


#  disk = ['file:/etc/xen/iso/COS52.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r',
# 'phy:/dev/vg00/elastix,xvda1,w' ]

Two errors i guess :-
1. "ioemu" for paravirtual guest is incorrect
2.  xvda not xvda1

# vif = [ '' ]

Bridge not specified



vfb = ["type=vnc,vncunused=1"]
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
kernel = '/images/xen/vmlinuz'
ramdisk = '/images/xen/initrd.img'
vcpus = 1



Of course the above is without

 mounting to loop.  I have tried mounting to loop
with the same results.

Thank you,
David
