Has anyone had any success running a DomU on RHEL 4. I can boot into dom0 ok but when I attempt: xm create -c xxxx where xxxx is my image. It displays one line: Using kernel blah blah blah and then hangs the whole machine. I have seen 2 other postings with the same issue. I have been through a full recompile of xen from source. I have tried using different kernels and different image files (including the TTYLinux one) in the domU config file but no go. Have also removed the initrd file from the domu config file and all other references in there, no difference. My server is a Dell SC420 with SATA drives and 1Gb of memory. I haven''t had any other probs apart from video issues with FC4. Any help would be appreciated. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
I''m using CentOS 4 right now which is an RHEL 4 clone. The only time I''ve ran into this situation where the domU hangs at that line is with an improperly built domU kernel. The default one built in xen from source works most of the time. Have you tried using other kernels for your domU? - gino ledesma On 8/25/05, Andrew Olds <aolds@xtra.co.nz> wrote:> Has anyone had any success running a DomU on RHEL 4. > I can boot into dom0 ok but when I attempt: > xm create -c xxxx where xxxx is my image. > It displays one line: Using kernel blah blah blah and then hangs the whole machine. > I have seen 2 other postings with the same issue. > I have been through a full recompile of xen from source. > I have tried using different kernels and different image files (including the TTYLinux one) in the domU config file but no go.

Yes I rebuilt the XenU/Xen0 kernels from source. Dom0 boots from Xen0 with initrd fine. but when starting Xenu, bang. I noticed some posts about disabling USB on Dells so I''ll give that a go tonight. Andrew I''m using CentOS 4 right now which is an RHEL 4 clone.
