sorry for the noise..just sharing for the record.....i found the ramdisk inside the osol-0811.iso image's /boot directory.
And another thing is that I cannot use the amd64 version of unix (but my hardware is AMD64), but kernel = "/platform/i86xpv/kernel/unix" instead. So the entire config file look like this: name = "opensolaris-pv-install" vcpus = 2 memory = "1024" bootloader = "/usr/lib/xen/bin/pygrub" kernel = "/platform/i86xpv/kernel/unix" ramdisk = "/boot/x86.microroot" extra = "-B console=ttya,livemode=text" disk = ['file:/root/solaris_big/Korona-0.0.2.iso,6:cdrom,r','file:/export/home/vmdisk01.img,0,w'] vif = [''] on_shutdown = "destroy" on_reboot = "destroy" on_crash = "destroy" And I can successfully login using username jack (password jack) and root is "opensolaris". Doing "xm list": xm list Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 7026 4 r----- 4610.6 opensolaris-pv-install 15 1024 2 -b---- 22.6 Thanks!!!
