Ubuntu – how to create a lucid vm with xen

Ubuntuubuntu-8.04xen

i've just installed xen on my ubuntu 8.04.

When i enter xen-create-image --ip=192.168.0.200 --hostname=newhost

i get an hardy vm. but i would like to have a "newer" lucid vm. :/

when i use xen-create-image --ip=192.168.0.200 --hostname=newhost --dist=lucid xen tells me, that there is no hook directory for lucid.

is it possible with xen to install a lucid vm on a hardy host?

if yes, how?

thanks for any reply 🙂

Ubuntu dropped support for running a dom0 after 8.04. After much frustration trying to get 10.04 domU's running on 8.04 I switched to the recently released Debian 6.0 Squeeze.

Squeeze ships with Xen 4.0 and installation was a breeze. I'm running Lucid, Hardy and Squeeze domU's and am very happy Debian has returned to supporting Xen.
