Yeah, it's offline for me too :-(

I posted that one night the whole xen.org domain disappeared from
DNS. If that is in fact what happened then I might presume that
they are experiencing DNS problems and their MX records or mail
servers got hosed...

I emailed Stephen over at Xen/Citrix about the issue and this is what
he sent back:

Ross:

The UK team told me that they are working on the server but I have not
heard anything since this morning when I got in. I am not exactly sure
what the problem is but they are working on it...

Stephen,

It looks like the mailing lists are down. I nor have people on
the centos-virt lists received anything since yesterday around
3pm EDT.

Did that one little hiccup turn into a bigger problem?

The silly mistake that always gets me is I forget to put the .img extension on
the initrd file, be careful when running mkinitrd that the exact command is:

# mkinitrd -f --preload=pciback /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

You can remove the pciback stuff from grub.conf, but make sure the
modprobe.conf options are there prior to running mkinitrd.

Ok, this is where I got messed up (No grub line :)). I originally had the
rpmforge sk98ln rpm installed to make this realtek nic work before I tried this,
then using this procedure which I followed to a "t" didn't mask
the device from Dom0? It loaded the driver and setup the nic? I know I had the
pci slot number right. I thought the initrd was wrong, so I looked through grub
and looked at what it loaded, then checked the timestamp of the one I made with
that command and it was consistent? I assume something still wasn't right
with my mkinitrd, it completed with zero verbosity, mayeb I should try to use -v
and see what happens.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
