Thanks. I actually was running pygrub, and I _swear_ that the first time I ran it, it said that the initrd was not found. I then copied it to the host, and it ran. This actually brings me to another question/issue: It really honestly seems to me that sometimes I was getting inconsistent results, at least vis a vis the _current_ state of configuration files. Also, I've had situations where I've been unable to destory machines from the graphical virt-manager, but able to do so with xm. Yesterday, I had a guest that didn't show up on an xm list, but showed up in the virt-manager, constantly toggling between running and stopped. My questions are: 1) whether either xm or virt-manager do any kind of caching of settings, so that your current configuration might not actually be what is executed? 2) does going through the xen / grub boot process do any kind of changing or writing of settings? Again, I swear there were times where I got different results on the second boot than the first one. 3) finally, what would account for the differences between virt-manager and xm, and also is there any magic way to destroy an un-destroyable machine without having to reboot your computer? Thanks all--this seems like a very helpful mailing list!
