Whoa... interesting.  Did you run the BootManager at all?  How did you
"kexec" from the bootmanager to the production kernel?  I am surprised that
it let you install the system at all, as it looks like the overall disk
space is less than 12GG.  Is this running via iSCSI or is it running off of
the local disk of your xen cluster?  Also, it appears that you are limiting
memory to 520MB of total RAM vs. the min. required 1GB.  Presumably you've
hacked the bootmanager to not make those checks, right?!

Well, we should see whether the node manager will now start to install
slices.  One thing is for sure, the /vservers partition is way to small to
accommodate lots of slices being installed.  You'll need to increase that
somehow to something on the order of 100GBs, or else you will pretty soon
just run out of disk space.
