Hi
  I have been using pygrub for most of the needs. Was
trying out some stuff on SLES 10 SP1. It seems that it
does not have pygrub!!

    On the other hand,they have domUloader.py which
requires bootargs="--entry=hda:/boot/vmlinuz...., path
to ramdisk. 

   It is quite strange to be asking for the path of
the kernel and the ramdisk to be supplied in the conf
file!!.

Am I missing something here ? PyGrub does not require
all these details.

For example :
    on one of my images, the path is
/boot/initrd-2.6.16.29-0.11.smp.pae.gcc3.4.x86.i686.xen.domU.img


-- Also, the domUloader does gives error when there is
not partition. i.e. the image can be simply mounted by
using mount -o loop /file.disk /mount/point


/Jd
