#6 Re: lost in xen-create-image Posted by Steve (82.32.xx.xx) on Sat 1 Mar 2008 at 12:21 That is odd, but good to know it worked. I guess I'd suggest you set that in the config file via "kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-5-686". As for the password, no you can't set it magically like that I'm afraid. (Not my fault, a limitation of the passwd command generally. I tend to not set passwords, and use the skellington file support (see manpage) to automatically add an SSH key to new images - so I can ssh in as root immediately then reset the password if I need to.
