Right. I forgot the Xen version on fc6 can't do paravirt to
different arch, this one is explained :-).
Anyone ever done something like a dd from the fc7 live dvd to
the virtual machine's filesystem in a file to get fc7 installed
entirely from the dom0 without booting the VM at all till
everything already exists on the VM's filesystem?
What if you use QEMU to create the image, and then put the support in?
Copy the kernel from Dom0, make a new initrd, and then boot. Now, if I
could only figure out where my network is located!!!
qemu-img create -f raw debian.img 5G
qemu -cdrom ../../iso/debian-40r0-i386-netinst.iso -hda debian.img -m 256 -boot d
qemu -hda debian.img -m 384
