Eliloader is located under /usr/bin, at least in XenServer, and is pretty easy to read.
There is a function, switchBootloader, that does the switch from eliloader to pygrub. I'm sure you can find an easy way for to bypass this function. There is a section called: ##### DISTRO-SPECIFIC CODE This will give you the pathing eliloader is expecting from the base url you pass it. Also what the kernel/initrd names it's asking for. -----Original Message----- From: xen-api-boun...@lists.xen.org [mailto:xen-api-boun...@lists.xen.org] On Behalf Of Alexandre Kouznetsov Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 2:14 PM To: xen-api@lists.xen.org Subject: Re: [Xen-API] pypxeboot (or similar) under XCP 1.6 - eliloader Hello.

Yes, found it mentioned at http://community.citrix.com/display/xs/The+Operation+of+Unsupported+Guests+on+XenServer+5.5+and+5.6 Thought it was too specialized for install boot (and, honestly, I have missed the word "Network"). Quote: "The eliloader is a special bootloader used to install PV guests from vendor media (CD and Network). [...] eliloader will automatically switch the guest configuration to PV-bootloader="pygrub" so that after installation pygrub is used to boot the disk." This automatic switch to pygrub looks confusing, but it's hopefully it's disableable. My kernel and initrd images are accessible via TFTP and HTTP, so specific PXE is not a requirement. Is there any documentation about eliloader I can check, in order to tweak it's configuration to perform as I need? It have no man page under XCP 1.6, nor accepts -h or --help switches.
