Thanks for the email I didn't have a root entry, but adding it fails in the exact same way :( I must note that I have my normal debian entry in my menu.lst and it look= s=20 almost identical to the Xen entry. The debian entry boots fine (and has=20 always), but the Xen doesn't :( Derrik Pates wrote: > > # initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-1-386 > As pointed out in the directions, you need to load an initrd after the=20 > XenLinux kernel with a 'module' directive, instead of an 'initrd'=20 > directive. my bad, I didn't notice the slight change in directives, I tried it with=20 module but still no joy :( I've been doing some googling for Grub errors but found nothing useful.

You will hate me, but I'm trying = to=20 run Xen inside a Microsoft Virtual PC 2004.

I know its a little strange running a VM inside a VM, but I only wanted t= o=20 play with xen a little but I didn't have a spare linux box to play with. = If=20 people know of Virtual PC problems has anyone tried running this in VMWar= e?
