[Xen-ia64-devel] Xen Fails to Load on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 - SGI Altix 4700

[James Young <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to set up Xen on an Altix 4700 Itanium 2 system. The system won't boot and stalls at the end of the following post:

ELILO boot: Uncompressing Linux...
Loading file initrd-2.6.18-194.17.4
Loading file vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.17.
Uncompressing... done
