Subject: [Xen-users] BOOTING PARAVIRTUALIZED DOMU FORM ISO IMAGE

Hi all, I need to boot a pravirtualized domU from an ISO image (linux kernel).
I've tried with:

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xenU"
memory = 128
name = "xen05"
#cpu = -1   # leave to Xen to pick
vif = [ 'mac=00:00:20:01:01:05, ip=x.x.x.x' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/mapper/lvm1-xen05,sda1,w','phy:/dev/mapper/lvm1-xen0 5swap,sda2,w','file:/ISOIMAGE.iso,cdrom,r' ]
#cdrom = "/ISOIMAGE.iso"
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
boot = "/dev/sdb" (and boot="d")
# Sets runlevel 4.
extra = "4"

Because of the way that Xen boots a PV domain, it can't be done from a
CDROM.
You may be able to "install to a different location" in some way from
the CDROM, which can perhaps solve your problem, but it's not possible
for Xen to boot a CDROM in PV mode.

but it doesn't work...

Can you help me?

Thanks!
