I have been following the installation guide here: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/readmes/user/ but now I've hit a problem. I have a Debian Testing install with a 2.4.27-1-386 kernel and installed the binaries of xen-2.0.3. I then edited my grub/menu.lst file to add this: title Xen 2.0 / XenLinux 2.6.10 kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0 # initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-1-386 boot Xen 2.0 appears on the boot menu, but when it attempts to boot it just hangs after displaying: Booting 'Xen 2.0 / XenLinux 2.6.10' kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 [Multiboot-elf, <0x100000:0x4103c:0x3630c>, shtab=0x178078, entry=0x100000] module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0 [Multiboot-module @ 0x179000, 0x408178 bytes] boot After that it doesn't appear to do anything, I'm unsure what to try now, is there a log file I can check? or some other option I can try?. I did modify the menu.lst a few times trying different combinations. If I added the initrd option then grub fails with a error: initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-1-386 Error 19: Linux kernel must be loaded before initrd I also tried compiling Xen from source, which built & installed fine, but still I have the same problem. Has anyone got any tips where I'm going wrong? I presume I've got a simple typo somewhere and its nothing complex. If you need more information I'm happy to provide it.
