Thanks to all the help, I’ve gotten most of this to work for both Debian and LinuxMint; I’ll summarize once complete for the record. What has worked: booting install images, connecting via vnc, installing the OS on a second disk image, booting the second image. For Debian, all this works, and the second disk can be run as a PVH DomU. For LinuxMint, all this works for HVM DomUs only. I have tried more or less the same configuration for the LinuxMint PV DomU as for the working Debian PV DomU: kernel='/xen/linuxmint-21.1-cinnamon-64bit-vmlinuz-5.15.0-56-generic' ramdisk='/xen/linuxmint-21.1-cinnamon-64bit-initrd.img-5.15.0-56-generic' type='pvh' memory = 2048 cpu_weight = 64 name = "linuxmint-pv" vif = [ 'mac=aa:00:00:d1:00:09,bridge=bridge0' ] disk = [ 'file:/xen/linuxmint-21.1-cinnamon-64bit.img,ioemu:hda,w', ] root = "/dev/xvda1" vga = 'stdvga' videoram = '16' vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vnclisten=127.0.0.1’ ] This reports in the vnc window “This VM has no graphic display device.” That message occurs with or without the vga+videoram statements and with or without the vfb statement. Any ideas? Thanks again for all the help. Cheers, Brook
