I have not used the xen-tools scripts all that much yet and have always
preferred to make a guest manually.
One possible work around for this is to do it (more) manually with a
custom script.
I have a config file that I have been using, you could make one automatically
with a script based on it
This was built from source install, so the kernel and ramdisk should be
updated for your needs.
kernel='/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen'
ramdisk='/boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img'
memory=256
disk=['tap:aio:/xen/images/ubuntu1.img,xvda1,w']
root='/dev/xvda1 ro'
vif=['']
extra='xencons=tty'
I have a simple script that I have been using. It is by no means robust yet.
but you should be able to customize for your needs in most cases I bet.
The script also handles some post install stuff like ssh keys etc. you
should customize based on your needs.
