I've installed xen using the binaries (yum install kernel-xen0) on fc5 however
the xen kernel crashes upon boot. However, Fc5 installed on the same athlon
dual core boots without a problem. The binaries are version 2.6.17.
The system is running on sata disks that are raided using the built in
motherboard raid controller.
Here is a capture of the xen attempted boot up.
(XEN) *** Serial input -> DOM0 (type 'CTRL-a' three times to switch input to
Xen).

(XEN) (file=dom0_ops.c, line=396) Domain 0 says that IO-APIC REGSEL is good
device-mapper: dm-stripe: Target length not divisible by chunk size
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
(XEN) Domain 0 crashed: rebooting machine in 5 seconds.
I'm suspecting that the raid setup is causing me problems, so my question is
what kernel options would I need to change in order to resolve this?
I've already tried mkinitrd, but it built exactly the same ramdisk as what's
installed.
For extra info, when I boot into 'normal' linux the disks are mounted as
/dev/dm-2, /dev/dm-3 etc.
Any help would be appreciated as I bought this machine specifically for xen.
