What's the workaround to auto-start Xen PV's?  (or is there not a way?)

Seems like we could just implement this however needed (if xenpv… do this instead…), if virtinstall won't do it for us.

If your target is latest RHEL5, there are 2 problems.


- RHEL5 virt-install doesn't have the --boot option. This is used to
install
xen PV guests. We could work around this by enabling install_location
support
for PV, which xen + virt-install have supported in RHEL5 forever. But
not sure
how that meshes with existing deployments getting a cobbler upgrade.


Hmm, who is using Xen PV out there? Speak up if you are.


I'm willing to shoot it.

We are using XenPV on Scientific Linux 5, cobbler-2.2.1-1.el5. Koan is working, except that I needed to patch start_install() parameters in xencreate.py
There was a mailinglist thread in October about this.

Greetings
