Sorry for the top post but I think it's appropriate here. The message below was posted 20th of December last year with no response. I've now hit the same problem.
I have CentOS 5.7 and and trying to install an F16 domU PV guest. It seems that pygrub is failing to read the grub2 setup.
It also seems that there is a fix for this in xen-3.0.3-135.el according to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746602
(pygrub cannot start F16 PV guests (GPT partition) under Xen 4.1.1)
However, centos only has xen-3.0.3-132.el5_7.2 and so does not have the pygrub fixes and I'm not even sure RH has relased xen-3.0.3-135.el yet.
Has anyone found a way to install F16 as a domU guest on Centos 5.7?

All,
I've had a heck of a time getting Fedora 16 to run as a guest VM under CentOS 5.7 host as a paravirtualized Xen guest. I believe the issue has something to do with Fedora 16 using grub2...
When I attempt to start the VM (via xm create), I get this error:
Using config file "/etc/xen/fedora-workstation". Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 686, in ? fs = fsimage.open(file, get_fs_offset(file)) IOError: [Errno 95] Operation not supported No handlers could be found for logger "xend" Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!
In my kickstart, I had to create a partition for F16 as:
part biosboot --fstype=biosboot --size=1
I didn't readily find the error when googling...
Has anyone been able to run F16 as a PV guest? And if so, what did you do to make it happen?????
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
