Fwd: [Xen-users] cent os domu creation problem

[Tapas Mishra <mightydreams@xxxxxxxxx>]

In /etc/xen/xen-tools
I have  used kernel and initrd the ones downloaded from CentOS site
http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/images
is it correct or wrong.

In /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf
vmlinuz and initrd should point to the downloaded vmlinuz and initrd
or the Debian Dom0 vmlinuz and initrd.

I tried by hosting CentOS on Dom0 and dom0 had a webserver but doing
installation it gaves following error
Unable to retrieve             |
                      | http://http://172.21.100.147/  |
                      | /centos/images/stage2.img.

Where as I checked that file is there on the webserver.

I have uploaded a snapshot.

If they are not clear let me know where to upload if any one
interested to see them.
