Hi, I recently took delivery of a bunch of HP BL25p blades to add to my collection. I am attempting to install Centos4 x86_64 using PXE - the initial PXE DHCP stuff works, and the kernel and initrd are downloaded, but the server then immediately clears the screen and displays: "1706-Smart Array Controller Extended BIOS Data Area Memory Corrupted Array Controller Interrupt 14h BIOS Cannot

Hi, I''m trying to boot xen dom0 on a Compaq Proliant 2500 but so far I have been unsuccessful, I get (XEN) Not enough memory to stash the DOM0 kernel image. On a normal linux 2.6 kernel to boot I have pass "memmap=exactmap memmap=640K@0 memmap=319M@1M" to the kernel at boot otherwise it hangs because of the way Compaq Bios reports the system memory. I''ve tryed to use

Hello Xen Users, I am facing a problem getting my installation of XEN boot up on a Red Hat Linux Guest OS. What''s happening is that the grub loader tries to install Xen but after a while it crashes and starts rebooting recursively. I have tried both the entries listed below. I am using the following entries in the grub.conf file: title Xen-bhatia 3.0 / XenLinux-bhatia 2.6.16

Hi guys! I tried to boot memtest86+ v4.2 (renamed memtest.bin to memtest), and i have issues to boot it with pxelinux 5.x and greater.Pxelinux 4.06 works fine both memtest 4.1 and 4.2.

Can you help me, please ? (I

Hello, I often see the double dash -- in the append line in isolinux/syslinux configurations I only know this as "disable further option processing" e.g. in bash. What is the function of the -- ? I don't see any difference if I use it don't use it. E.g here : append vga=normal initrd=/install.amd/initrd.gz -- quiet append vga=normal initrd=debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz

Hello, I have a few proliant 5000 servers with buggy BIOS that always reports 16MB ram. In order for normal linux kernel to boot I need to specify memmap=exactmap memmap=640k@0 memmap=<RAMSIZE -1>M@1M My xen (binary install) dies as it complains that it "cannot allocate memory to stash the kernel image" which I''m sure is because of the above. How can I inform XEN of the
