I have installed Xen 2.0 on a RHEL 4 Beta 2 machine and am having problems booting into the xen0 kernel. When I boot, the last message I see is: Warning: unable to open an initial console. I realize that kernel support may not be there for the console devices and have attempted to build the kernel, but it did not boot either. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thx.

Probably you need udev.

Thanks, Keir. I had added an ''initrd'' line to my GRUBG config previously, and that had not worked. The FAQ points out that a ''module'' line should be added to the GRUB config, not ''initrd''. That worked. Again, thanks. David Barrera Keir Fraser wrote:>Probably you need udev.
