Xen users - Aug 2006 - regarding xen installation

Dear all,

I have a RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.0 box. I installed XEN hypervisor for
Redhat enterprise according to installation notes. I am new to both Linux
and Xen Source. According to installation notes, I edited the grub.conf file
and added the exact lines as given in the installation notes for Xen, as
shown below

title Xen (2.6.12.6-xen3_2.1)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /xen-3.gz com1=115200,8n1
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.12.6-xen3_2.1 root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
ro maxcpus=1 console=tty1 console=ttyS0,115200n8
        module /initrd-2.6.12.6-xen3_2.1.img


But, when I reboot the system to boot in XEN, I get File not found Error.
Kindly let me know, where the mistake could be.

 I also further intend to install Redhat 9.0 as a guest operating system. Am
not sure how to proceed further. any inputs in this direction would also be
very useful.

many thanks to you all
anand k

Ther are 2 likley causes that I can think of.

1) root (hd0,0) is not "/boot"
2) the xen/kenrnel images ahven''t been installed.

What does:
mount | egrep '' (/|/boot) '' ; ls /boot/*xen*
say?

Yours Tony
