I am trying to boot the fedora core 9 xen kernel(2.6.25.3-2.fc9.x86_64.xen).
Cause it is one of 2 that when I boot it sees all 4GB of my memory.
When I try to boot the xen kernel from grub, it boots it up and then the last
message is "Xen relinquishing VGA console". Then the next kernel
2.6.25.11-97.fc9.x86_64 is booted.
Here is my grub.conf for the xen kernel.
title Fedora (2.6.25.3-2.fc9.x86_64.xen)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.25.3-2.fc9.x86_64.xen
module /vmlinuz-2.6.25.3-2.fc9.x86_64.xen ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
module /initrd-2.6.25.3-2.fc9.x86_64.xen.img
I do not see any issues with grub and since the kernel has not started there is
no logging of what went wrong where.
Is there a way I can fire up this kernel to see where the problems are and try
to correct them? I am not so skilled with kernel level things. Also is it
possible I will need to rebuild my own kernel for my particular motherboard.
Software; FC-9 with xen
Hardware; AMD_64 Phenom
GA-MA770-S3 MB
RV505 [Radeon X1550 Series]
4GB of DIMM 800MHZ RAM
3x 500GB SATA WD HD
My goal with this box is, build a entire virtual environment, 2 clustered web
servers, 2 clustered mail servers, 2 clustered FTP servers, and back end storage
using ISCSI or some other open nas system. The creation of my own private sand
box.
I have been screwing around with diffrent Linux distros to find one I was
comfortable with as a base system. I would like to use cent 5.1 but xen would
not boot on my hardware and it did not see all 4 gigs of ram. 2 problems as
opposed to 1 in FC9.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Erin

Cheers, Todd -- Todd Deshane http://todddeshane.net check out our book: http://runningxen.com You might also see this: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-xen/2007-October/msg00037.html I don''t know if it is related to your memory issue, but I have had (and fixed) this problem with F7, F8, and CentOS 5.1. I''m not sure you are experiencing the same issue because I think it was usually only with the xen kernel in my case, but it might be worth a try so you can use CentOS, and I wouldn''t be surprised if 5.2 has the same issue. I''m running F8 because CentOS 5.2 didn''t have drivers for my NIC.
