I've installed xen using the binaries (yum install kernel-xen0) on fc5 however the xen kernel crashes upon boot. However, Fc5 installed on the same athlon dual core boots without a problem. The binaries are version 2.6.17.
The system is running on sata disks that are raided using the built in motherboard raid controller.

Here is a capture of the xen attempted boot up.

device-mapper: dm-stripe: Target length not divisible by chunk size
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
 (XEN) Domain 0 crashed: rebooting machine in 5 seconds.


I'm suspecting that the raid setup is causing me problems, so my question is what kernel options would I need to change in order to resolve this?

I've already tried mkinitrd, but it built exactly the same ramdisk as what's installed.

For extra info, when I boot into 'normal' linux the disks are mounted as /dev/dm-2, /dev/dm-3 etc.

Any help would be appreciated as I bought this machine specifically for xen.
