[one-users] Xen images with pygrub

[Ruben S. Montero]

Hi,
	You are totally right, the current driver wont even let you use the RAW 
attribute to specify the bootloader, as you said it requires the KERNEL 
attribute. I've filed a bug for this, so you can track the updates:

http://trac.opennebula.org/ticket/61

We are planning for a somehow longer release cycle for 1.2, so this will be 
solved in beta2

Cheers

Ruben
