Well it's pretty easy.
1. Connect to Ubuntu (or CentOS).
2. Dl all from https://github.com/creategui/CloudStackImageScripts (make
it executable using chmod a+x createUbuntuCSimageXen.sh)
3. Fix URL in createUbuntuCSimageXen.sh like this:
LINK=http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/release/ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz
4. Run the script.
5. Copy the file ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.fs to XenSerevr.
6. Copy and make executable createVHD.sh on XenServer, then run it
./createVHD.sh ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.fs
7. Give me a link to .VHD. :-)
If you don't have Ubuntu you can do it on CentOS or i can give you a
link to my compressed ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.fs and you do
only steps from 5 onwards.
Tnx.

Can you send me a step by step instructions on how to use this script, and
I will create the vhd file and share it with you, I have a 100Mbps link, so
downloading it should be quick :)

As i have no NFS primary storage (all NFS servers are mounted as secondary

Done creating image. You can mount it to check it out using:
mount -o loop ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-**amd64.fs
ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-**amd64
If you are happy with it, copy ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-**amd64.fs
to one of your XenServer hosts and create the vhd file using createVHD.sh

First is about resolv.conf which is at /etc/resolv.conf in my CentOS
install. I can work around that by creating softlink, even thou resolv.conf
is normally populated using DHCP client.
The other "FATAL: kernel too old" might be in relation to CentOS kernel,
once script chroots into Ubuntu install. I'm just going to leave this for
now and install xen tools or guest utilities once i have the first Ubuntu
VM running in case if they weren't already.
Now it's time to test .vhd creation.

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Carlos,
just one quick question. Which OS type should be used when registering
this Ubuntu created VHD on CS 4.1.1 with XS 6.0.2?
