I am trying to setup Xen on debian 5.0.1. (they use grub2, i replaced it by the legacy grub) So I installed xen-linux-system-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 When choosing the xen kernel on boot, I get the message "You need to load the kernel first". I guess this is just a simple mistake I did? But g**gle did not help. Or are there any issues with XEN for 2.6.26-2 and the old grub?

It should have an entry like: title Xen 3.2-1-i386 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-xen-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/xen-3.2-1-i386.gz dom0_mem=256M module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-686 root=/dev/md0 ro console=tty0 module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686 -- greetings eMHa _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
