Hello,
I installed xen3.0.3 under ubuntu 6.0.6 TLS, after installing xen we must
generate a file / boot/initrd-2.6.29-xen.img compatible with the xen kernel
.
I used the following commands:
Sudo depmod 2.6.16.29-Xen
Mkinitramfs / boot/initrd-2.6.16.29-xen.img /
lib/modoles/2.6.16.29-xen
This is my /boot/grub/menu.lst
Xen 3.0.3 title / XenLinux 2.6
Root (hd0, 0)
Kernel / vga = console boot/xen-3.0.3-0.gz
Module / boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.29-xen root = / dev/hda1 ro
console = tty0
Module / boot/initrd-2.6.16.29-xen.img
When I reboot with the xen kernel, and the end of the boot, ie just before
displaying the prompt for user name and password; screen becomes black , the
keyboard does not respond ....etc
I response that I misused orders depmod and mkinitramfs ..
Can any one help me here? How can I trace/solve that
problem?

Re: [Xen-users] ramdisk is not compatible !!!
For the installation I tried to make on an Ubuntu I have followed a tutorial whixh used yaird to generate the ramdisk image. Here is an excerpt of what was said : You''ll have to change the version of the kernel (it was for a debian dom0) We need a ramdisk for our new Xen kernel, therefore we do the following: depmod 2.6.18-xen apt-get install yaird To create the ramdisk, we run mkinitrd.yaird -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen 2.6.18-xen The last command creates the ramdisk /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen. Next we add our new kernel to Grub, our bootloader. We can do this with one simple command: update-grub Now reboot the system: shutdown -r now Perhaps it will work for you ?

You should post specific errors are specific problems that we can comment on to try to help you further.
