xen and fedora

[Shahzad Chohan]

Hi Colin,

Ok I did that. Basically I now get the following:

INIT: version 2.85 booting
INIT: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit"
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
INIT: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/rc"
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel

Could this be due to teh way I installed fedora on this xen environment, 
bascially I did the following:

yum --installroot=/mnt/xen/ -y groupinstall Base

This probably meant that I have lost some config files, I guess. The 
problem was I don't know of a way to install the os onto a fedora.img 
without this way, is there another way, and should I copy the files it 
needs from another fedora install?

Many Thanks
Shaz
