This is a strange question on a xen list I know, but I''m seeing vmware 4.5 panic when it tries to boot xen. Strangely enough it doesnt panic when the kernel is coming up but rather when running through the initd scripts. Apparently the same system runs properly in vmware5. Is anyone familiar with this problem? Does anyone know a workaround for 4.5? I know this isn''t really xen''s fault, but was wondering if anyone here knew what the issue was. (I need a devel box for xen-unstable, since I need stability on my real xen box. I only have a license for vmware 4.5 and not vmware5).

Some older versions of vmware are incompatible with the way in which we fix up /lib/tls libraries. This would be fixed by moving /lib/tls to e.g., /lib/tls.disabled -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Turning kudzu off got past this issue and let the system finish coming up. The vmware log indicated a problem while accessing the floppy device with DMA turned off (even when I removed the floppy device from the virtual machine).
