" Whoa... interesting.  Did you run the BootManager at all? 

Yes I ran BootManager.  It created the root partition and downloaded an initrd.

" How did you "kexec" from the bootmanager to the production kernel?

By hand.  I translated the kernel command line the bootmanager made into an
'xm create' command to start the VM.

The new HP nodes are not here yet so this is running on a older box. The
disk is local attached.  Presumably the /vservers partition isn't
instantly filled to 100GB, or is it?  Does the nod manager take into
account the disk available when downloading slices?

I would be much better if /vservers could live on NFS.   That would mean
actually changing the root image.

Did the node manager install any slices?  I don't have a plc with slices
handy so thats why I used your plc.
