Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Full Virtualised DomU Hang on Boot
Thanks very much, Karel,

That is a good thought.  I have just tried that, unfortunately the
problem persists.

I have tried a few other combinations too; 
  - selected kernel
    title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.4.21-57.EL)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-57.EL ro root=LABEL=/1
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-57.EL.img
  - using root device name from LABEL=/1 to /dev/sda2
  - selected another kernel on partition 1
    title Red Hat 9 Linux-up (2.4.20-8)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=/dev/sda1
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img

   still no joy.  Stuck as before - see screen dump attached.

Any more idea?

Many thanks anyway.

Kind regards,
Peter

Hi,

we had same problem with domU HVM RHEL 3 U4 32bit, dom0 RHEL 5 U4 x86_64

- out of box virtualization installation, Dell server Nehalem X5550.

I haven't enouhg time to solve it completely,
but for me, it was sufficient, that NON SMP kernel booted without 
problem and is running without problems since September 2009.

Regards

Karel
