Jan,
I used SINGLE module to load kernel and SINGLE intird to load ramdisk in
grub.conf file.
title Xen Unstable /Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.6.16.33
kernel /xen.gz console=vga
module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
console=tty0
initrd /initrd-2.6.16.33-xen.img
Based on what you explained, this should be fine. However, Xen Linux still
got a panic message: Linux kernel must be loaded before ramdisk.
How do you explain this?
Thanks,
Liang

Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] What is the implication to use 'module'directive
instead of 'initrd' to load ramdis
>I noticed Xen used Module directive to load RAMDISK for XenLinux in boot

I
tried to change back to initrd and Linux reports an error kernal panic
message: Linux kernel must be loaded before ramdisk.
Could anyone here explain about this?
'initrd' is equivalent to 'module' except that there can only be a single
initrd
statement per boot option. Obviously you need two modules (the kernel
and its initrd), hence you can't use 'initrd' here.
