It looks like grub isn''t entirely happy with the following
construction:
title Xen 2.0 / Xenolinux 2.6.9-1.658_FC4
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen-2.6.9-2.gz dom0_mem=180000
module /vmlinuz-debug root=/dev/hda2 ro debug 3 verbose xencons=off
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-prep.img
It refuses to boot up, giving the error message:
Error 19: Linux kernel must be loaded before initrd
I''m looking at the grub sources to figure out how to work
around this...

You don''t specify the initrd with ''initrd'' but as
another module. That
is, this line:
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-prep.img
should be:
module /initrd-2.6.9-prep.img
GRUB only groks ''initrd'' lines for Linux kernels -- not for
multiboot
kernels. :-)

I ended up playing a bit with X together with Alan, and we got it to run fine on my laptop. We also looked at the AGP patch and it appears that it should be harmless on native Linux, so might be mergeable upstream. kind regards, Rik -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
