you now don’t have an image ready.. you only have /centos directory with all the files for “/”.

Fantastic tutorial! Especially the SSHD hanging and fixing it by adding a console! Solved my problem immediately.

Thanks a lot

hi, thanks very much for this very good guide.

note that the $releasever need not to be hard coded in the yum-xen.conf if the following change is made:

change distroverpkg=redhat-release
to distroverpkg=centos-release

Hi, thanks a million for posting the thing about the console!!! I’ve been working the whole weekend to get a jailtime pv image on my xen server, and after i found out that fedora 9 hardcoded some settings in the initrd and fixed that, it still didn’t boot until i implemented your changes!. THANKS
