Re: [Xen-devel] Cannot load latest 2.6.32.10 kernel on AMD quad-core

Gerry,
Can you boot Dom0 with 2.6.32.10 under Xen 4.X on top of Ubuntu Lucid RC Server?

I just booted the Lucid kernel 2.6.32-21-server standard kernel and it has similar messages but it will boot fine.  Where the powernow-k8 BAR 3 error is, instead of saying 'can't setup' like dom0 kernel, it says 'can't allocate resource'. "Cool n Quiet" (freq scaling) is OFF in BIOS with this machine which isn't a problem for this machine since it is a small server.  Once again, any suggestions to compiling a bootable kernel?
