Hi, For 2 days I''m trying to get the precompiled version of Xen working [1]. I guess 90% of the users need IDE support. I also guess that most users will use ext3 instead of ext2. Both things are NOT compiled into this release. That''s no problem, I created an initrd (as proposed in the README!) with: # mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.6.16.33-xen.img 2.6.16.33-xen But this does not work either. I get a kernel panic in [2] although I used the most general configuration possible: /dev/hda1 formatted with ext2, grub and a simple IDE controller. After looking at the kernels .config I saw that not even cramfs (needed for an initrd) is compiled in! Is there any way to get Xen working except manually creating an initrd with ext2? Maybe this is a bug? I can''t imagine that the release really doesn''t want to include the most important stuff! I think the precompiled version is especially for beginners who don''t want to compile a kernel. But especially beginners won''t ever get Xen working with this kernel .config! I''m surprised that I can''t find anything on the web concerning this issue! Thank you very much for any advice!
