Re: [Xen-users] Linux PV Drivers - VBD device not loading - Cannot get M

to modify modprobe.conf, and you have to recreate initrd afterwards
(you might want to use "-v" to see what drivers are added). If it
still doesn't work, post full startup log (which is easier if you use
text console instead of VNC console)

noapic -> a performance-improvement suggestion from Redhat (can't
remember exactly which URL though)

I can't seem to get a RHEL4 i386 HVM guest to boot on RHEL5.2 x86_64 when using the PV vbd either.

The initrd contains the xen-vbd driver and xen-platform-pci but it dies when trying to boot:

It seems to see the devices and the xen-vnif ethernet device works well. Have I missed something simple?
