[Xen-users] Re: Problems booting Xen 3.0.1 with Qlogic 2312 cards

[John S Little <JSLittl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nigel..

We are using qla2342 which I believe is the same kernel driver and 
attaching to an emc cx600.  The machine is a sun box using dual amd 64 
dual core processors, 4gb ram (not pae enabled) and running sles 9.  We 
are running the stock xen 3.0.1 source download.

One thing that I did was get a list of modules (lsmod >somefile.txt) that 
sles 9 loaded in the original install and any that were scsi or qlogic 
related made sure those were endabled when I compiled the kernel.  I got 
the list and compiled the xen kernel prior to booting into xen.  However 
it looks like you have already done that.

Where NVRAM is concerned I configured ours using the pdf manual available 
on the qlogic web site.
