Hello Folks,

Thankyou very much for your help. I finally managed to get my SLC4 domU working on xen 3.0.3. Most of you were pointing in the right direction. It have to do something with initrd image. Apparently, for kernel 2.6 one needs extra option for mkinitrd.

I created my domU initrd image in the following way:

1) Mounted my domU file system to /mnt
2) chroot /mnt
3) cd /boot
4) mkinitrd  --with=xenblk --with=xennet initrd-<version>- xen.img <version>-xen
5) exit
6) copied the new domU initrd to dom0
7) xm create /updated_config_file/ -c

And then it worked fine. Many thanks for you help!

Cheers
Omer
