Yup, it's there in 0.1.1.

I use 0.1.0 at this moment and only see a debian etch folder, in the
tools folder on the cd :), so i think that's the problem :-).. So you
have 0.1.1 and see debian-lenny folder?

Thanks,
Peter

    Also, if you're really using the xs-tools 0.1.0, make sure you're
    actually using XCP 0.1.0 and not 0.1.1, otherwise the PV drivers
    will be out of date and not work.

        Oke i installed the tools and now atleast the system still boots :P

        I do get the following message while installing:

        I press Y but i think there is still something missing now, i
        can't do
        the live migration:

        /[root@node1 iso]# xe vm-migrate vm=lenny-test
        host=xenserver-kkevwpvj
        --live/
        /You attempted an operation on a VM which requires PV drivers to be
        installed but the drivers were not detected./
        /vm: ac42865b-2088-c6b5-b147-d1cd8e599f3e (lenny-test)/
        /[root@node1 iso]# /

        Could you tell me how you fixed this :-)? i've installed the kernel
        headers, and created a symlink from ./debian-lenny to that
        kernel source
        but that doesn't seem the solution.

        Thanks,

            Hi Vern,

            Thanks alot for your input, i'll create a new Debian vm and
        unpack
            everything on my NFS server :), that sounds like a good solution
            anyways :-). I just tabbed till i found some commando's pressed
            enter and it seemd to work :P, not knowing that it will
        destroy my
            vm later on :-).

            I'll try it again your way, thanks!

            Peter

                I've never been able to get the xvdd method to work. If I
                remember the manual correctly, you shouldn't be adding
        the iso
                that way anyways, the tools iso is "supposed" to show up
                automagically as /dev/xvdd in the VM (virtual machine
                installation guide, page 27, installing the Linux guest
        agent).

                What I did was to unpack the iso on a share on my NFS
        server and
                mount the share from the VM to do the installation.

                    Oke now it works, it was installed, and i wanted to
        try live
                    migration..
                    so i added the xen-tools iso to the vm with the
        following
                    command:
                    /[root@node1 ~]# xe vm-cd-add cd-name=xs-tools.iso
        vm=lenny-test
                    device=xvdd/

                    After that, i mounted the iso, in /mnt and i could
        run the
                    installer,
                    after the installer i got a message i should
        reboot.. so i
                    did.. and now
                    i get the following message trying to start my vm ->

                    /[root@node1 ~]# xe vm-start vm=lenny-test
                    on=16cae97a-e00d-469d-afc8-e1764c499b42/
                    /The bootloader returned an error/
                    /vm: 4f0a9956-5cbd-6315-0fc7-89c1b2252370 (lenny-test)/
                    /msg: Error from bootloader: too many bootable disks
        (2 disks)/
                    /[root@node1 ~]# /

                    any pointers :-)?

                    Thanks,
                    Peter

                        Temporary fix for this is to make sure the VM
