Not having much luck with this. I was able to boot to bash using the
init=/bin/bash, but I don't think the pci subsystem gets loaded, so it
doesn't help a lot.
Then I found this article, which says if you want to boot an existing
machine off a CD, you have to temporarily change it to an HVM:
http://www.novell.com/communities/node/3046/how-boot-paravirtual-xen-domu-cd-rom-or-iso-sles-10-sp1-or-opensuse-103
I'm going to start another thread though. Further investigation it seams
that the issue is more scsi related than anything, because the system
boots, just dies during boot.
Thanks,
James
