Hello,
I created a guest from XML without a <bootloader> tag. When I run dumpxml on the guest, I notice that an empty <bootloader /> tag is appended. Is this the expected behavior? This seems to differ from the behavior of other optional tags.
Yes & no. You should get a bootloader tag added only if you didn't already have a kerenl/initrd tag.
What version of Xen are you using ? Please capture the output of 'xm list --long {NAME OF GUEST}'

Just wanted to follow up on this issue. Since this guest has a kernel tag, it should not have a bootloader tag - is that correct? Thanks! -- Kaitlin Rupert IBM Linux Technology Center kaitlin@linux.vnet.ibm.com
