Hello, I would like to know if anyone has Xen 3 running on SuSE 10? If so, do you have a grub config that you can share? I am a newbie when it comes to Xen.

Like I say, I''m a newbie at this...
Here is my config...
###Xen 3.0###
title Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/xen-3.0.gz dom0_mem=256000
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.13-15-xen root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 selinux=0
resume=/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 splash=silent showopts
This is running on a dual-processor ProLiant DL380 with 4 local disks in
RAID5. When I try to boot to Xen, the display zips by at light speed.
The last thing I see is that the memory is being scrubbed moments before
the server reboots. I can boot into SuSE 10 without issue.
ummmm....help?
Thanks..

That is what I am > doing, and doing okay.Yes - installation into a directory works fine but I have just copied dom0 which I have build via autoyast into a seperate lv as that way I had less config work to do in the domU. - Only needed to change the hostname and IP address.

The Xen kernel may not have the same setup when it comes to device drivers as the distro''s kernel. Also, if you haven''t rebuilt your kernel to have modules turned off, you''ll have to have a line like this: module /boot/initrd-2.6.13-15-xen Giving the option "noreboot" on the kernel line in your grub.conf file would also help to give some more information on what''s going wrong - most likely it will complain that it''s not finding the root-device. The noreboot option tells the Xen kernel to not reboot when there''s crash, and it allows you to read what the last thing that it printed was, rather than it being lost in the process of rebooting. Obviously, using serial port to output the data, as per what I sent earlier, would also solve the "text disappears before I can read it" problem. -- Mats _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hello Hubertus,
I dont see the initrd entry here .
I think another line needs to be added after the module
/boot/vmlinuz-... line
Add this
module /boot/initrd-xen (Whatever initrd u have)
Hope it helps

Good point - I missed that (my original mail did have that line), - I have the initrd line under the kernel line on my box as: module /initrd-xen Hopefully this will solve Brians problem.
