[Xen-users] Booting problem with compiled xen 3.3.0/linux-2.6.18.8-xen.hg source
Hi All, I am trying to compile Xen 3.3.0 source code which downloads updates from mercurial repository. I am trying to modify the CPU scheduler, but before i make any changes i need to test it by installing it from source. OS: Fedora 8 Linux I compiled the source code by using [root@localhost xen-3.3.0]# make world [root@localhost xen-3.3.0]# make install [root@localhost xen-3.3.0]# depmod 2.6.18.8-xen [root@localhost xen-3.3.0]# mkinitrd initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img 2.6.18.8-xen then i moved "initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img" to /boot edited the grub.conf title WindowsXP rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title Fedora-base (2.6.23.1-42.fc8) root (hd0,5) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img title Fedora (2.6.21-2950.fc8xen) root (hd0,5) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.21-2950.fc8 module /vmlinuz-2.6.21-2950.fc8xen ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet module /initrd-2.6.21-2950.fc8xen.img title Source Compiled Xen - 3rd March 2009 (2.6.18.8-xen) root (hd0,5) kernel /xen-3.3.0.gz #module /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen ro root=/dev/sda8 console=tty0 1 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen ro root=LABEL=/ console=tty0 module /initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img When i select 4th option, i get these messages while booting, (XEN) *** LOADING DOMAIN 0 *** . . .

What changes needs to be done to make things work. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
