[Xen-devel] Xen doesn't boot on grub2 or xend doesn't start

[José Eduardo França <jefranca@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi guys,

It's my first time here and in a mailing lists, I only participated in forums before. Please, If I make a mistake you should advise me. Let's go!

I was reading "xencommons not start" in a Remus Forum in order to install Remus.
Well… I followed the tutorial <http://remusha.wikidot.com/configuring-and-installing-remus>, I reboot in xen_unstable and I had a error message:

error: couldn't open file
error: you need to load the multiboot kernel first

then I redid tutorial after "Adapt Grub" and in a moment I do command:

# /etc/init.d/xend start
xencommons should be started first.

but I had done "/etc/init.d/xencommons start" before and no error message returned !!!???

I also tried insert modules manually (coz in other mailing list said to put some modules - see my setups after this mail) but I had:

# modprobe xen-evtchn
FATAL: Module xen_evtchn not found.

Please, help me
Thanks.

PS: I'm sorry to my English, coz I'm brazilian.

My setups are:

- fdisk

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          32      248832   83  Linux
