[xen-tools-discuss] using Xen tools on Debian squeeze, but not working now

[Brian E. Lavender]

The bug affects the guest installation as well. I installed giving it
the following options in xen-tools.conf and then after booting, I
installed the kernel in the guest and grub. the guest had the version 6
running.

kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r`
#kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-6-amd64
initrd = /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r`
#initrd = /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-6-amd64

"There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to
make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."
