Hi Shal
Tried what you had oher than there was no
mysterious /boot/initrd-2.6.18.img, which was the same as from the
tutorial by compiling the 3.0.3 kernel. Hhere is what I did.
Installed the Xen kernel etc from Suse 10.2 DVD.
The ran the mkinitrd -k "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-4-xen" -i
"/boot/initrd-2.6.18.2-4-xen" (it didn't do anything without the quote
marks) I then got
Root device: /dev/sda2 (mounted on / as ext3)
Module list: ata_piix jbd ext3 edd fan (xennet xenblk)

Cannot determine dependencies of module edd. Is modules.dep up to date?

It did boot this time into Xen kernel which it did not doot before,
however, when I go to yast, I do not get the xen virtual machine
installer under system.
xm list comes up as it should.
xm dmesg comes up with
(xen) Microcode: error! Bad data in micorocde data file
(xem) Microcode: error! error in the microcode data
So, if you have your exact command line instructions, please let me
know. Maybe it was something I done there.
Another thing, if I run the intel program for determining if unit is
Linux ready, I get the follow EDD message
EDD Boot disk hinting
4
This test verifies if the BIOS directs the operating system on
which
storage device to use for booting (EDD information). This is important
for systems that (can) have multiple disks. Linux distributions
increasingly depend on this info to find out on which device to install
the bootloader.
Boot device 0x80 does not support EDD

Whether this is the cause of my problems, I do not know.
