<div><br></div><div>And that leads me to another question about the xen / virt-manager combo - I don't see any way with this to get into BIOS settings for the VM.

When trying to boot from the HD it just jumps up immediately adn says it is not found. </div>

That will pipe your guest output to 'xm console'. From there it should<br>
be possible to figure out why the disks aren't seen.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>My config file already said "serial=pty" and when I do the xm command to view the console when the VM boots, I get nothing.</div>

I have a file /etc/xen/UbuntuServerS1 which has my config, but I can also dump the XML as you suggested. So which one is being used when I boot? Just so I know where to change it.</div>
