Re: [Xen-devel] Xen not booting !

["Leena M." <kernmonk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Do you think there is some problem with the way I did the 
installation ? Wrongly created the initrd file ??
are the /etc/fstab and the device.map entries are in sync with the grub/menu.lst 
and please find the config file attached if that is required.

grub found no such file /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18.8-xen on (hd0,0)...
