Hello, we have a RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 with xen kernel but can not boot 32bit iso/cds to install 32bit guests. The boot stops when it starts the loading processes. We use the GUI "Virtual Machine Console" and we configuring the machine there is an architecture option but is is not enable for us to set the one we want. How to workaround this?

Hello, using a debian 4 live CD we are able to boot. It is maybe something mandriva related (tried 2 versions: 2007 and 2009).

Hello Pasi, thanks for the reply and the URLs. At the graphical console, I can read... " . . . Booting from CD-Rom... ISOLINUX 3.63 Mandriva Linux Copyright (c) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin Loading... " ...and it stays in this "Loading..." and never goes ahead, no matter we use the cdrom or an iso image. We are considering the usage of other distros and the update of the system.
