Good day, I have a low-ish power system running a VIA Samuel 2, which I''d like to have running Xen. I''ve tried the Debian packages, and compiling 3.0.2 from source, both with the same result: when grub hands off to xen.gz, the whole system is rebooted without printing anything. It just flickers the screen a bit, although that might be the reboot itself. I don''t think I''ve done anything particularly strange. I installed it all with the make rules. My system is a somewhat-current Debian testing dist. My CPU: >> processor : 0 vendor_id : CentaurHauls cpu family : 6 model : 7 model name : VIA Samuel 2 stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 533.453 << With 192MB of RAM. My grub entry: >> title Xen root (hd0,1) kernel /xen.gz noreboot module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro module /initrd-2.6-xen0 savedefault boot << I''m happy to provide any other information. Any light that can be shed, be it just a debugging step or something, would be very appreciated. Thanks, Peter _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
