I am trying to compile/run xen/linux using xen4.1.1 and linux 3.1-rc4 as dom0. These are the latest stable(*1, *2) releases as far as I can tell. Most of the email/documentation imply that I should be using the ''jeremy'' kernel but other email/docs imply that all of these fixes are now folded into Linux 3.1-rc4. My question is: Can I expect xen4.1.1 and linux 3.1-rc4 as DOM0 to work correctly? My current problem is that xend fails to start up (hangs). I get the RTNETLINK problem but all of the solutions I could find have been applied. Thank you in advance Jeff *1) I tried xen4.1.2 but it failed with handle_irq_event_percpu error. I could only find a patch that was appropriate for xen 4.1.1 and used it to remove the error. *2) The newest 3.1-rc4 kernel would not run due to kernel bug 42412 <http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2011-September/014125.h tml> about nouveau not working on older GEForce2 cards. I got around this by putting ''nomodeset'' on the linux boot command line.

For example Fedora 16 or the latest Debian testing releases. Hope that helps.

Does systemctld show you which service failed to start? Did you update to the latest package?
