Edit the
/boot/grub/menu.lst
file and make the following changes:
• Set the default=
xxx
(where
xxx
is the old boot entry) to default=0,
which is the boot entry with the latest initrd.
• For each drive specified in the virtual machine configuration file (for
example, hda and hdb), append
hdx
=noprobe
to the kernel line
for the updated kernel, where
hdx
is the drive specification found in the
virtual machine configuration file.

Shut down the virtual machine.

On the virtualization host server, open a terminal and enter
xm delete
vm_name
to delete the virtual machine’s reference in xenstore so it is no longer
managed.
TIP
Enter
xm list
to see the name of the virtual machine (
vm_name
).

Open the virtual machine configuration file located on virtualization host server
(
/etc/xen/vm/vm_cfgfile
where

is usually the same as
the name of the virtual machine).
7
Remove all parameters from the
vif=
line except the
mac=
mac_address param-
eter. Make sure to leave the single quotes.

vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:55:24:21,model=pcnet,type=ioemu', ]
to
vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:55:24:21', ]

At the terminal, enter
