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

Hey, I built a 2.6.18.8-xen kernel and created the initial ram disk by following the instructions in README file in Xen source package. Then I put a entry for new kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst (I am using CentOS 5). Here is the menu.lst: ########################################## default=1 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-8.el5) root

I installed the xen 2.6 binary tarball on my Linux 2.6 Fedora Core x86 system and added the entry to the grub.con file. I am still not able to get it up and working. It keeps restarting itself during the boot process. I''ve managed to capture the contents of the boot at the end before it restarts: error opening /dev/console error dup2''ing fd of 0 to 0 error

I've been going along not noticing things happening right under my nose. so imagine my surprise when I discovered last night that my Centos 5 box has installed multiple new kernels over the last few months, as updates come out, and IT IS NOT BOOTING THE NEWST ONE. grub.conf says to boot kernel 0, and 0 is the newest one. but the one it actually boots is 6 or 8 down the list (clearly I've

Hi all, Recently I build XEN 4.1 (from the xen.org) on centIOS 5.5 (kernel 2.6.38.4). After changing the grub file and rebooting the machine, I am continuously getting out of memory error.

Hello all, I am sort of new to XEN and I have a dedicated server that is hosted for me. This server is an intel single quad 4 with 4 gig of ram. The OS is Centos 5 completely updated.

I''ve spent the past while researching this but I''m just not finding a solution. I''ve been trying to get my xen kernel booting on a pretty much stock CentOS 4.4 installation. I installed Xen from src rpm and installed all the requisite software and I''m sure it''s with the ram disk but I can''t figure out how to resolve this. With a stock kernel

Good evening all, I''ve all but finished installing Xen 2.0.5, XenLinux 2.6.10 and Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r4 into /boot on a colo box currently (and temporarily) running CentOS. I''ve chrooted into the debian install (chroot /boot /bin/bash) and was able to set everything up, install requisite packages, install xen, etc. Now I''m at the last step and I''ve run into

I am installing Xen on a remote server. I left the other kernels on the grub.conf and made xen the default to boot from. The box didn''t boot into Xen on reboot but I''m not sure why.

Hello everybody, I installed Centos 6.2 on a computer with an older version of it in order to dual boot both of them. I managed to install the new OS on a physically seperated hard drive, and configured grub to make the newly installed OS the default one.

Hi. I am trying to install xen 2.0.5 and am having problems getting the xen kernel to boot. It seems to come up, recognize the PCI bus info, the CPU, memory, and such, and then halts when it gets to trying to mount NFS. It then asks for a boot floppy. My guess is that it is not finding the / partition. The actual kernel panic string, I don''t have because the screen blanks so

There was a discussion here several days ago that was precipitated by my decision to manually install the new kernel before YUMming the upgrade to CentOS 4.2. The upgrade went south but I recovered by doing a fresh install and a bunch of copying from backups. All's well EXCEPT that I'm back in the same "box", thanks to anaconda. I set out to upgrade kernels this morning:
