Hi,

I wish to make some modification to the Linux kernel that xen builds on i.e. the linux2.6.18.8 directory.

I did so and now I wish to boot it separately to test some simple things before making it a part of

my dom0/domU. Is it possible to boot the kernel built?I get an error 13: Bad format - I guess this

is because vmlinuz is in some propretiery format and only xen.gz can help it boot. Kindly clarify

and help.

Regards,

Asim
