Xen users - Apr 2006 - Xen won''t boot: dom0 image is not a Xen-compatible Elf image

Hello folks

I strive to get Xen up and running, but only make a slow progress in it.

My current trouble is that I get this "dom0 image is not a Xen-compatible
Elf
image" shortly after the Xen starts to boot. Then the computer reboots.

I installed Xen from sources (downloaded from
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/xen-3.0-testing-src.tgz)
, built with the gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13) by typing:

make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=xconfig
(here I did some kernel configuration changes)
make install

Then I created initrd with mkinitr and added following lines to menu.lst:

title Xen-3.0
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/xen-3.0.gz dom0_mem=150000 console=vga
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xenxen root=/dev/hda3 ro console=tty0
module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-xenxen

Do you think you could help me with that? (I saw similar question in this
forum, but without response.) 

Thank you very much 

Ales Cervenka

have you selected the XEN-compatible arch in the kernel configuration ???

I would say so.

grep -i xen .config has following output:

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="xen"
CONFIG_X86_XEN=y
CONFIG_PCI_GOXEN_FE=y

See attachment for complete .config file, if it is of any use for you.

Anyway, I probably should have mentioned that I use IBM Think Pad R40, with
Debian Linux as an OS.
