Starting a domU with latest unstable, sans XenD

[Jacob Gorm Hansen <jacobg@diku.dk>]

hi,

I am trying to tweak vmtools so that I can start at domain with the
latest code from hg. Right now the domain hangs after the following (I
have changed kernel/printk.c to get kernel messages on the serial):

...
<6>checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (bad gzip magic numbers);
looks like an initrd
<6>Freeing initrd memory: 3000k freed
<6>NET: Registered protocol family 16
<6>xen_mem: Initialising balloon driver.
Grant table initialized
<6>Initializing Cryptographic API
<6>io scheduler noop registered
<6>io scheduler anticipatory registered
<6>io scheduler deadline registered

The only thing I have running in dom0 is xenstored. What other
services do I need to have running?

thanks,
Jacob
