Hello everyone. I''m compilling xen 3.2 unstable source fetched from mercurial repository with XenLinux 2.6.18.8-xen also fetched from xenbits.xensource repo. Looks like everything allright, excepts some little troubles with docs generation at the end of the ''make dist'', but that''s not fatal. Main problem is that kernel doesn''t boot up and panics with en error "Attempted to kill init. FATAL: Kernel too old". I think something is wrong with either kernel config (I''m using default config) or initrd image generation (i''m using initrd with args recomended in README). What could it be and is there any solution?

Re: [Xen-users] 2.6.18.8-xen kernel panic
Well, as far as I understand, when compiling xen with ''make dist'' you getting general 2.6.18.8-xen kernel, which can act both as dom0 and domU. So, I''ve generated initrd image with following commands: # depmod 2.6.18.8-xen # mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img 2.6.18.8-xen o I''m getting 3Mb initrd file. And my grub config looks like this: title Xen 3.2 / XenLinux 2.6.18 root (hd0,3) kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen root=/dev/sdb4 ro console=tty0 module /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img Regards, Kirill "REDbyte" Novikov Release Manager, EastLinux Team 2008/8/9 Tej <bewith.tej@gmail.com>> On Sat, Aug 9, 2008 at 4:27 PM, Kirill REDbyte Novikov > <redbyte.labs@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello everyone. > > > > I''m compilling xen 3.2 unstable source fetched from mercurial repository > > with XenLinux 2.6.18.8-xen also fetched from xenbits.xensource repo. > Looks > > like everything allright, excepts some little troubles with docs > generation > > at the end of the ''make dist'', but that''s not fatal.
