I have a server running SLES10SP1 with Xen enabled. I am able to fire off SLED10 installs inside Xen VMs just fine.

I need to run (3) CentOS 4.5 VMs on it.

CentOS kernel is not creating block devices for hd or iso image. any ideas?

It doesn't seem to care if there is this line in my config file:

disk = [ 'file:/export/home/CentOS-4.5-x86_64-binDVD.iso,hdc,r' ]

After moving down the installation path and choosing "install from local CDROM" it gives me an error message:

"No driver found. Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installation type. Would you like to manually select your driver or use a driver disk?"

I should also note that I grabbed the xen kernel and initrd from here too:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.5/os/x86_64/images/xen/

Are there incompatibilities?  Between Xen/SLES/CentOS?

Thanks,
Scott

A kernel log follows  (this time was a try with the CentOS 5 kernel/initrd):
