Hi, Does anyone have a Xen Source (2.6.18.8) running on a Dell / 64 bit system? (under Ubuntu?) Can you tell me how you did it .. everything I try simply stalls when I''m half way through the boot process .. no errors .. :( Gareth. ----- Original Message ----- step 3.: "Gareth Bult" <gareth@encryptec.net> To: "Zoran Kikic" <lists@zoran.name> Cc: "xen-users" <xen-users@lists.xensource.com> Sent: 22 January 2008 17:42:31 o''clock (GMT) Europe/London Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Can''t build kernel with Xen 3.2.0 Hi, I have a working Ubuntu/Gutsy/Xen system .. and although I can upgrade it to Xen-3.2.gz, as soon as I try my roll-your-own kernel it gets mostly through the boot and just stops - no errors at all.

Hi Gareth, please tell us the last messages, which are printed to the screen. I guess it stops after mounting/checking the filesystems, right?

The alternative for hangs is that 2.6.18 didn''t boot on some hardware and therefore Xen 3.2 with XenLinux 2.6.18 in dom0 doesn''t either. I agree with what I *think* Jan is suggesting - that the config needs tweaking somewhere?

I''ve encountered this issue a few days ago. But I didn''t realize that in this case Xen 3.2 is installed and that the problem occurs while booting dom0.
