Just in case :-

I can't remind version Ubuntu Server 8.04 and higher installable via ISO image.

Ok, a little progress. I copied the kernel and ramdisk from the lucid iso to /boot and then used these when creating. That gave me an installer screen. But I got no disk devices of any kind. No hdX, no xvdX, no cdrom, nothing. -Gerry Jun 13, 2010 10:17:12 PM, greno@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote:

The furtherest I have gotten with this is to get an initramfs prompt using this config:
name = "RESCUE"
memory = 1024
vcpus = 4
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.13"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.13"
disk = [
'file:/tmp/iso/ubuntu/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso,hdd:cdrom,r',
"tap:aio:/var/lib/xen/images/CLOUD-CC-1.img,xvda,w"
]
vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vncunused=1' ]
In initramfs I can see the devices:
xvda1,xvda2,xvda5, xvde
And if I mount xvde as iso9660 then I can see the files in the iso.
I don't understand why it cannot perform the boot. It seems like everythng is there.
This is using pv_ops kernel 2.6.32.13 and Xen 4.0.0-rc8

ok, some other things that are weird:
hdc ends up on xvda
hdd ends up on xvde
Huh?
I don't know whether this is pygrub or Xen that's causing the problems.

You mean like this?:
disk = [
'file:/tmp/ubuntu/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso,hdc:cdrom,r',
"tap:aio:/var/lib/xen/images/CLOUD-CC-1.img,xvda,w"
]
Gives me the exact same result:
Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!
I've verified the paths to the kernel and ramdisk. It's weird because I did this some time ago without any problem. But now it doesn't work. Maybe because I updated to Xen 4.0.0-rc8? Pygrub says version 0.6 inside it.

Why not just use file: and iso path? I don't see any benefit to
