I tried doing it with virt-install command line
virt-install -n LucidPVG -r 512 --paravirt --vnc -f /dev/sda9 -c

As you can see I have used ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso above but
it did not worked out and then I also used
mini.iso downloaded from here
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso

and then on my local machine (laptop) tried putting it in /var/www and
running apache but this did not gave any success.
I also tried loop mounting the ISO's to some temporary location and
even from there it did not worked.

/usr/bin/virt-install -n LucidPVG -r 512 --paravirt --vnc -f /dev/sda9
-c /home/tapas/Documents/ISO's/mini.iso --debug
I got the same error as above.
I am trying to create a PV guest (Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit) on PV-Dom0
2.6.32.27  kernel using  Xen 4.0.1
xm info and xm list are giving proper output but the process of
creating PV guest on non VT machine (but 64) is failing for some
reason.
Can any one suggest how should I proceed in this case.
