Hello,

I try to install some applications on XEN. These applications have a
automated install and are based on SLES10SP3. During the installation
the device searches for /dev/sr0. Which fails in the xen enviroment. I
now make a work around with booting a rescue system and mounting
/dev/hdc and so on. But it should not be that difficult to install
something into XEN.

Can Somebody shed some light on how to make /dev/sr0 available for domu


mfg,
Jeroen

Isn't there a configuration option in your application that will let you specify the proper cdrom device? Have you tried making a symlink from /dev/sr0 to /dev/hdc? Have you tried making the SLES domU an HVM guest instead of PV?
