I built the xen2.0 on FC3 using gcc3.3. Previously I cant build it by gcc3.4.2, which is default gcc version of FC3. then people advised me lowering the gcc version, I did that, then there is no error during building. But then I have the same problems as what you have now. I had another machine, which is using FC2, and runing xen2.0 unstable. so I tried transfering those boot files: xen.gz, linuz-2.6.9-xen0 and so on to that FC2 system under /boot. It can boot up and go to a console,although the the console dumps it cant find some modules, it can still go to the login. The hardware of these two machines are totally same, the only different is one is installed FC2, the other is installed FC3. I am not sure whether it is the FC peoblems. Anyone has suggestions? Thanks a lot! Yi Here is the grub.conf I am using on my FC3 machine. The similar one is working on mty FC2 machine, I dont know what''s wrong with the tty. # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition.

I presume we''d have had more complaints (e.g., for Red Hat themselves) if it failed so badly for everyone.

My guess would be that your filesystem doesn''t have a /dev/console entry. I''ve seen this happen with fle systems that expect devfs (e.g. Gentoo), but I doubt that''s the problem with FC3. Does FC3 use udev or something fancy like that? Either way, check to see whether you have a populated /dev/ directory and copy one across if not.

Hi, I just installed the xen2.0 on my FC2 system, it works well. So I guess it is the FC3 problem. And also I guess xen2.0 does not support the udev well. It is really exciting that finally I can boot up my own xen2.0. :) Thanks guys for your valuable sugguestion. I do appreciate that.
