Great resource. Unfortunately, some of the information is over my head or assume facts that I don't know.
The create kernel and initrd for installation is where I am getting stuck.
Since I am going to be using the same version for host and guest, is there a simpler way to create the kernal and initrd then downloading them or getting them from the DVD that was used to install the host OS? My impression from other threads here and on the Xen list is yes. Thanks.
initrd to boot the yast2 installer: no.
initrd to boot the installed system: yes, just use /boot/initrd-xen.
You might have to edit /etc/sysconfig/kernel to get additional modules
loaded (in case you are using different root filesystems on host and
guest for example).
cheers,
