[Fedora-xen] Autostart VM on boot

I use virt-install to install my vms as well, but when I used
virt-manager (to install) I ran into that other directory path that you
mentioned.
To install a para-virt example with virt-install I use something like the
following:
virt-install --bridge=xenbr0 --name=machinename --ram=1024 --vcpus=1
--file=/dev/vgmachine/lvmachine --paravirt
--location=http://1.1.1.1/pathto/ks -x "ks=http://1.1.1.1/config.cfg"
--vnc
Below is an example of a Windows VM that I have that is stored in /etc/xen
and worked just fine with the symlink method. If youd like a linux
example or a para-virt example just let me know.
name = "MachineName"
uuid = "f771623c-acbe-18df-d3a9-e71246c88f2e"
maxmem = 1024
memory = 1024
vcpus = 2
builder = "hvm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
boot = "c"
pae = 1
acpi = 1
apic = 1
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "restart"
device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
sdl = 0
vnc = 1
vncunused = 1
disk = [ "phy:/dev/vgcomp/lvmachine,hda,w",
"file:/root/bartpe.iso,hdb:cdrom,r" ]
vif = [ "mac=00:00:00:00:00:00,bridge=eth0,type=ioemu" ]
serial = "pty"

Ok, but I used virt-install to create the VMs, so I don't have a config
file.
Trying this solution I found the config files at /var/lib/xend/domains/,
all generated by virt-install automatic.
So I created a symlink in /etc/xen/auto, but this didn't work.
Any other ideas?
Could you send me an example of config file machine that works for
testing?
I don't know how to create a VM from one.

Creating a symlink in /etc/xen/auto that points to the config file of the
machine I want to autostart has worked for me in Fedora 8.
IE I store my config files in /etc/xen
ln s /etc/xen/MachineFile /etc/xen/auto/MachineFile
Next time I boot the virtual machine starts right up.

Hi,
I'm using Fedora 8 as DOM0.
I created my virtual machines using virt-install.
Now I want to configure them to autostart on DOM0's boot, but I can't.
I tried a lot of solutions, but none worked.
Could somebody help me?
