CentOS virt - Jul 2010 - Can I install Slackware 13.1 as Xen-Guest?

I try to install Slackware 13.1 but fails, process stop on boot process, nothing
happen when I press ENTER or F2.

I have choose "Generic Kernel 2.6.25 or later with virtio".

Please advise how to install Slackware on Xen (CentOS 5.5), or should I choose 
another version of Slackware?

virtio is not for Xen. Try using different kernel.

-- Pasi

Trying with their 32bit version, I get a kernel panic - not syncing : VFS"
unable to mount root. This is on KVM using the default IDE emulator. 

 

What kernel panic message are you getting?

Aint this a sign that the domU needs a cutomised initrd?
 mkinitrd --with blah --with-more-blah
