[Fedora-livecd-list] xen livecd creation

[Patrice Guay]

I'm trying to create a LiveCD with a xen enabled kernel (kernel-xen).
I'm using livecd-tools 013 (the last compatible version with CentOS5).
Creating a regular LiveCD works fine but I'm having trouble with the Xen
LiveCD.

The following files are created under the isolinux directory:
> boot.cat
> initrd0.img
> isolinux.bin
> isolinux.cfg
> mboot.c32
> splash.jpg
> vesamenu.c32
> vmlinuz0
> xen0.gz

Here is the relevant content of isolinux.cfg:
> default vesamenu.c32
> timeout 100
> 
> [...]
> 
> label linux0
>   menu label Xen LiveCD
>   kernel mboot.c32
>   append xen0.gz --- vmlinuz0 --- initrd0.img  root=CDLABEL=xen rootfstype=iso9660 ro quiet liveimg
> menu default

And here is the boot messages I get:
> [...]

Anyone has a clue about what is going wrong with this Xen LiveCD?
