[Xen-users] Help: grub problem ( Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format )
Hey,
I built a 2.6.18.8-xen kernel and created the initial ram disk by following
the instructions in README file in Xen source package. Then I put a entry
for new kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst (I am using CentOS 5). Here is the
menu.lst:
##########################################
default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.18-8.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb
quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.el5.img
title CentOS-Xen (2.6.18.8-xen)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb
quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img
######################################################
But when I want to boot from the xen kernel, I always get the following
error message:
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
I used file command to check the vmlinuz:
># file vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen
vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Wed
Sep 24 19:00:23 2008, max compression
Seems there is nothing wrong with the vmlinuz. Is there anybody who can tell
me how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Luke
