I've used PXE boot for Solaris HVM guests on Solaris dom0, including a couple of days ago. Admittedly this was a domain created with a .py file, but it doesn't sound like that is the difference. > I installed remote installation services on a Windows server running > as an HVM dom0.

Any thoughts on this one? That's odd. The packets passed to the driver should be the same in both cases (the come from the same source in dom0). When you say "doesn't get the DHCP client requests", do you mean that it never makes an offer, or you've used a packet sniffer to be sure that the requests are not received? _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
