OK, I got the files from http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/xen/ and put them both under /boot of the host (Debian) and the guest (FC7) and used the following config file: kernel = '/boot/fc7-xen-vmlinuz' ramdisk = '/boot/fc7-xen-initrd.img' memory = 256 name = 'fc7-01' root = '/dev/hda1 ro' vif = ['type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'] disk = ['phy:/dev/xen/fc7-01,ioemu:hda,w'] cdrom = 'file://root/iso/fc7/i386/boot.iso' device_model='/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/qemu-dm' boot='d' sdl='1' And it seems to run - device started, "xm list" lists it at "blocked" state, xend.log file ends like: [2007-10-17 21:44:29 xend 2358] DEBUG (__init__:1072) Waiting for devices irq. [2007-10-17 21:44:29 xend 2358] DEBUG (__init__:1072) Waiting for devices pci. [2007-10-17 21:44:29 xend 2358] DEBUG (__init__:1072) Waiting for devices ioports.

[2007-10-17 21:44:29 xend 2358] INFO (__init__:1072) Domain fc7-01 (36) unpaused. But I don't get any console window and don't see how to reach the console. Just in case this is relevant - the Xen machine is a headless rack-mounted box in our machine room, no local desktop. I open ssh to it with X11 forwarding and manage to run VNC viewer into the console of the Windows Xen guest. Thanks very much for your help. --Amos
