Hi,
In any case, I am eager to try so I selected my home pc as a testbed to
install Xen again. It's
a normal PC running Redhat 9. After I put the two gzip files into /boot
and configured GRUB, everything seemed good. I was really happy to see it
actually booted (halfway though). Then shortly, it rebooted automatically.
The screen scrolled too fast. I only saw the last a few lines are
something like:
Guest Operating System blah blah
blah blah
So it seems the xenolinux kernel had some conflicts with my pc. Probably
one of the device driver.
Then machine rebooted. Is there a way to stop the screen or see a log
somewhere?
Thanks very much,
Ning
And here is the dmesg output of my pc after I booted the original redhat kernel.
