You can choose which kernel gets booted by setting up some environment variables. See the manual page here: http://libguestfs.org/supermin.1.html#USING-A-CUSTOM-KERNEL-AND-KERNEL-MODULES Basically just: export SUPERMIN_KERNEL=/boot/my-vmlinuz export SUPERMIN_KERNEL_VERSION=3.XX.0 export SUPERMIN_MODULES=/lib/modules/3.XX.0 Of course, it means you must have a 32 bit kernel for this to work, and supermin will need to find 32 bit binaries and so on. Alternative is to set LIBGUESTFS_HV=/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 which seemed to work for you.
