The problem: when grub attempts to boot xen, it hangs on a screen that looks like this: /*------- Booting command list kernel (hd0,0)/xen-3.0.gz dom0_mem=64000 (Multiboot-elf, <0xsomeaddress:another:another>, shtab=0xsomeaddress, entry=0x100000) module (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xen0 root=/dev/hda5 ro console=tty0 (Multiboot-module @ 0x194000, 0x4aea08 bytes) ------- */ Background: This is a fresh Mandriva 2006 install that works with grub but not xen. I tried the Mandriva xen packages, got the above result, removed them, installed the latest binaries, and still get the same result. The system uses a /boot partition out of necessity. It''s grub config is included below. It uses an AMD K6-2 450mhz processor with 128M ram, recently tested with memtest86. I also included the fstab below. Can you help me figure out what''s going wrong? It seems that the xen kernel isn''t getting even an inch off the ground.

This was a simple one. As it turns out, xen does not support the AMD K6-2 processor.
