Thread-topic: [Xen-ia64-devel] VTi RHEL4U4 install?
Hi Alex, 

I also met the GPT issue, if I didn't use the GPT partitioned disk image file. 
But I can do installation successfully in VTI with ioemu(Qemu) disk. And 
installing again, the GPT issue is gone. 

But I did not understand how to install VTI Linux in a VBD disk. I just have 
the experience to use VBD disk, after original VTI Linux boot up and insert the 
VBD disk drivers. Could you please give some instructions and guide? 

Best Regards,
Yongkang (Kangkang) 永康
