Xen users - Sep 2006 - Xen does not load kernel at system boot

Dear All,

I''m trying to install Xen on Debian Sarge + testing (halfway updated 
system).

Hardware P-IV, 256M

Packages:
--------
linux-image-2.6.17-2-xen-686
linux-modules-2.6.17-2-xen-686
xen-docs-3.0
xen-hypervisor-3.0-i386
xen-ioemu-3.0
xen-linux-system-2.6.17-2-xen-686
xen-tools
xen-utils-3.0

/boot/grub/menu.lst:
--------------------
title           Debian Xen 3.0
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/xen-3.0-i386.gz dom0_mem=128M noreboot sync_console
module          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-2-xen-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro 
console=tty0

Boot process stops at the messages:
-----------------------------------
[XEN] Scrubbing free RAM ...
[XEN] Xen trace buffers: disabled

Root fs is at /dev/hda1

Could anyone give some hints on solving the problem?

Thanks!

With the best regards,
Andrei.

Do you need an initrd?

I had the same problem, but Bastian Blank pushed me in the right
direction.  Basically your kernel does not match your hypervisor. for
debian kernel 2.6.17-2-xen-686 you need at least the following hypervisor:
ii  xen-hypervisor-3.0-unstable-1-i386 3.0-unstable+hg11218-1 The Xen Hypervisor
on i386-class
