I have build an appliance sing the susestudio tool. It seem to work in their test environment, however, it will not run on my dom0 machine. The test machine is over 3 years old, so I am worndering if there are any incompatibilities.

xm info on the dom0 returns this:

release : 2.6.16.27-0.9-xen
version : #1 SMP Tue Feb 13 09:35:18 UTC 2007
(...)
xen_major : 3
xen_minor : 0
xen_extra : .2_09763-0.8
xen_caps : xen-3.0-x86_64 hvm-3.0-x86_32 hvm-3.0-x86_64

cc_compile_by : abuild
cc_compile_domain : suse.de
cc_compile_date : Fri Oct 6 15:58:46 UTC 2006

The .xenconfig file generated by the susestudio is as follows:
===========
# -*- mode: python; -*-
name="vmunison"
memory=128
disk=[ "tap:aio:vmunison.x86_64-0.0.1.raw,xvda,w" ]
vif=[ "bridge=xenbr0" ]
===========

I edit the file to use absolute paths and attempt to start it up. I get this:

Error: No kernel specified

So now I play around, add the "bootloader = '/usr/bin/pygrub'" line. It returns the message "Error: too many values to unpack".

My existing vms use the "bootloader = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py'" line, so I tried that, still the same problem.

If I change the "tap:aio" to "file", then I get the boot loader to display one page of text and then it crashes.

Is there any hope in getting it runnig on the existing dom0?
