Re: [XenPPC] Booting Dom0 with SLES10 on JS21

the modules come from this ramdisk, but my guess is the ramdisk does other stuff as well.
if you take this initrd and copy to you build machine, then:
  1. $ gzip -c initrd > ramdisk.image.gz
  2. $ cp ramdisk.image.gc <linux build>/arch/powerpc/boot
  3. $ make <linux flags> zImage.initrd

Then try using <linux build>/arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.initrd as your Dom0

Ok, this gets us way further, you _want_ to see:
Freeing unused kernel memory: 244k freed
Starting udevd
Creating devices

Hoever this worries me, if anything actually gets loaded since they are already here statically.
Loading scsi_mod
Not sure how to solve this.


You also want to make sure that ttyS0 has a getty runing in /etc/ inittab.
