Re: [Xen-users] Poor hard disk performance on xen-3/dom0

Thanks Fraser. Yeah I solved my problem. There was some problem with my serial console(http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2005-12/msg00932.html
). But I agree, that -xen is a better option. For e.g. On my RH laptop, my sound card wasn't working with -xen0 but it works with -xen, I attribute that to all the drivers that come with -xen. 

And I got other machine running with Ubuntu 
5.10 and Xen 3 with an initrd that I created from mkinitramfs. So it sure works fine, as you said.

Thanks.

As Ian mentioned I expect booting -xen kernel instead of -xen0 should
improve things, just make sure you generate an initramfs for that image.

vmlinuz-2.6.12.6-xen is 1.6MB, initrd.img-2.6.12.6-xen is 5.4MB and I'm
faily sure I generated that with mkinitramfs though it's been quite a
while so I may be forgetting.

My full time workstation is a laptop running Ubuntu 5.10 on Xen 3 so it
definitely works.
