But strange undeterministic things happen now... :( snippet from my grub.cfg: menuentry "xen" { multiboot /boot/xen-3.0.gz dom0_mem=512M module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-xen root=/dev/mapper/mainVG-rootLV ro module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-xen } when I try to boot this directly, it says: "error: you need to load multiboot kernel first" When I type manually (go to the grub command line after bios boot) multiboot /boot/xen-3.0.gz dom0_mem=512M it loads the xen and complains about not having any xenlinux kernel specified When I type: multiboot /boot/xen-3.0.gz dom0_mem=512M module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-xen It starts booting, but complains about the root device (which is obvious) But when I type: multiboot /boot/xen-3.0.gz dom0_mem=512M module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-xen root=/dev/mapper/mainVG-rootLV ro It starts booting but sometimes the error message is same as previous one (like there is no root option), sometimes there is wierd characters in root=.... It looks like grub is not passing the arguments after file in module command correctly to the kernel. (But take it just as my guess) Has anybody some hints what to do/try next? Martin
