Hi
I am having some problems installing a paravirt RHEL guest on a deb amd64 xen
machine

I have downloaded the RHEL 5 x86_64 cds, loop mounted disk 1, I have taken off
the /isolinux/{initrd.img,vmlinux} and /images/xen/{initrd.img,vmlinux} files
When I boot from the /isolinux files, seems like the kernel is not xen'ed so
will not boot. When I try and boot from the /images/xen, it boots, but it can't
find any block devices.
Any idea's hints ? is this the wrong list to be posting to ?
