Re: [Xen-users] some beginnerkernel questions

[Sanjay Upadhyay <glowfriend@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
You may not need to recompile the kernel, however a very good link is
here http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_xen_setup_debian_ubuntu

Another point, either referring a initrd image in the grub does cause
a problem, try to remove that from there. Hope that would correct the
issue..
I have the following given under the /boot/grub/menu.1st..

title Xen 3.0.0
    kernel /boot/xen-2.0.gz dom0_mem=25600 console=vga
    module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 root=/dev/hdb1 ro console=tty0

I had a entry like this (which i removed and the problem was solved)
    module /boot/initrd.img

regards
