Okay after hard coding a few things in files, I now have a working xen deployment. (But before you ask!)
I would like to unhack many things and get the flexibility back that SI provides. So ignoring the outstanding xen issues, lets get into the sI. autoinstallscript.conf, does not understand virtual disks xvd* is unknown to it so Diskorder is something that cannot be used and the system will not find the correct disk.. DISKORDER=sd,cciss,ida,rd,hd <--- xvd would be nice Otherwise I force the device information if [ -z $DISKORDER ] ; then DISK0=/dev/xvda <-- works elif [ -z $DISK0 ] ; then echo "Undefined: DISK0" shellout However if I do stop the SI process and drop into a shell, fdisk see's the disk just fine.. /scripts/pre-install # fdisk -l Disk /dev/xvda: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1305 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/xvda doesn't contain a valid partition table So unless I hard code xvda in various locations my installation will fail. So how do I go about getting things a bit less rigid again? Now systemconfigurator, might be caused by the above issue, however systemconfigurator barfs all over the tasks of setting up my bootloader. (so much that I had to mount my partitions and edit grub.conf by hand).. Now I believe since my image is complete, I can skip the systemconfigurator bootloader piece and just have it deal with network, however again I would love to keep all components of SI in tact. And Andrea, I owe you a donation, send me a link (not for this, but for the last years worth of assistance (and yes i tend to jump from one implementation to another.)) I want to be able to use SI for everything! (and the new win stuff you announced, i'll try that as well!)))
