Hi,

I guess this is more of an ltsp question than edubuntu.

Has anyone managed to get a Xen kernel to boot on LTSP?  I have hacked LTSP
a little to get a bunch of testbed servers network booting and I now need
to get Xen on one if possible.

I've gotten most of the way having installed the xen kernel image into the
chroot, copied to tftpboot and followed this to configure pxelinux:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xen_and_Gentoo#Alternative:_PXELinux

but am having some trouble.  The kernel boots but panics complaining about
the lack of a root= option.

My pxelinux.cfg file is:

DEFAULT xen/mboot.c32 xen/xen-3.0-i386.gz dom0_mem=258048 --- xen/xen0-linux-2.6.17-6-generic-xen0 ro initrd=xen/initrd.img-2.6.17-6-generic-xen0 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600 panic=30

Any thoughts appreciated.
Gavin
