[Xen-users] Won't boot to Xen, GRUB Problem

["G. Felter" <xeninfo@xxxxxxxxx>]

I forgot to send this to the list when I sent it.  /dev/console is
there if that makes any differance.  I'm pretty green with linux,
I can hold my own with FreeBSD so some of your replies are confusing as
I don't know quite what you are talking about.  Any idea where I
go from here?

   Thanks to everyone who replied.  As I mentioned the
computer is a remote box in a datacenter.  I made arrangements to
reboot the box as I saw nothing in the logs helpful.  The
datacenter said the last line that appeared was:

  
Warning: unable to open an initial console. 
 
Warning: currently emulating unsupported memory accesses in /lib/tls
libraries the emulation is very slow to ensure full performance you
should execute the following as root: mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled 

I renamed (mv) /lib/tls to /lib/tls.disabled and did another
reboot.  It still would not boot and when the datacenter looked
the last message was:

Warning: unable to open an initial console. 
 
The
hands on people went home until morning, remote reboots now, so there
is no one to select the original kernel.  I havent't rebooted
again.

I'm running CentOS 4.1 (fresh install) on an AMD 2400 XP with IDE
HD.  Other than that I don't know too much about the box.  I
compiled from source and it is version xen-2.0-testing.  Where do
I go from here?  Thanks

What did happen? Did it give any output at all? Did it load Xen but
fail on starting XenLinux? Did Grub wink at you twice then blow up your
computer?

Please give a little more detail. You seem to have avoided the major
gotchas with configuring Grub but it is hard to say what the problem is
without seeing the symptoms.
