Right that makes sense to me, proc seems unnecessary. You thing you could do is to extract the tar file and move all but the proc directory into a guest image file. Also then create an empty /proc directory in the guest image. The pygrub method of booting will soon be deprecated and replaced with PV-Grub for security reasons. You don't need to use pygrub or PV-Grub to boot though, you could simple use the dom0 kernel and ramdisk by specifying them in your config file. replace your bootloader=pygrub line with: kernel=/boot/<your dom0 kernel> ramdisk=/boot/<your dom0 initrd> As for the missing disk image, that would have to be up to the openfiler developers to provide. In the past I thought that the disk image was a very nice touch and made the process of using openfiler as a Xen guest much easier. Is there a reason it was dropped or was it simply a mistake? > I'm using Xen on openSUSE 11.0. If you want a better understanding of Xen in general I would recommend our book "Running Xen: A Hands-on Guide to the Art of Virtualization". We have a website that you can find more details about the book and have lots of good resources on the site too: http://runningxen.com Hope that helps.
