not the guest domain stop with kernelpanic, the machine couldn't
boot,
because of the missing modules ...
That is the scenario when you do not copy the /lib/modules/2.6xxxx
directory from the dom0 into the guest domain root file system.
Hi Fernando,
sorry, maybe I'm a little silly, but I'm not able to start dom0.
I installed SuSE without Xen, it works. All modules are loaded and
running.
I installed SuSE with Xen, it doesn't work, it crashes with kernelpanic.
Should I copy the modules from the normal SuSE install to the SuSE xen
install?
I've downloaded the test cd and it runs with centos without any problems
and with debian etch with a little problems net and x-server.
Both dom0 shows the 8 cpus, but only 4 gb ram.
Thanks
Daniel
