Hi,

I have a couple of dual Xeon 3.0GHZ machines. Both have 4GB of memory. I'm trying to get them to boot Xen stable/2.0.6 (have tried 2.0.5 as well).

Because they are remote, getting error messages can be tricky.

When 'noreboot' is set in grubs conf, they stop after the 'scrubbing free RAM' message. If I remove the noreboot, I'm told a 'CPU trap' error occurs before it reboots, which I'm guessing is the CPU FATAL TRAP?

This thread http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2005-05/msg00510.html seems to be similar, but they are using xen 3.0-devel.

It's running CentOS 4 and boots up fine with a 2.6.9 (and 2.6.11.7 vanilla) kernel.

Any help much appreciated. If there is anything other information I can provide, just let me know.

Thanks,

Carl
