[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [Xen-users] Kernel Panic in booting Xen 3.1 on Dell PowerEdge Server 1950
Oops .. sorry about that .. Here is the xen 3.1 grub.conf:
default=0
timeout=15
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-55.0.6.ELsmp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-55.0.6.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ noapic rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-55.0.6.ELsmp.img
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-55.0.6.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-55.0.6.EL ro root=LABEL=/ noapic rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-55.0.6.EL.img
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-55.ELsmp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-55.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ noapic rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-55.ELsmp.img
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS-up (2.6.9-55.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-55.EL ro root=LABEL=/ noapic rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-55.EL.img
title Xen-SmartIO-2.6 (Compiled)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen-3.1.0.gz
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen ro root=/dev/sdb2 console=tty0
module /initrd-xen.img
Nothing unusual about the lines above the kernel panic just the
regular init stuff.
I did depmod before mkinitrd but the initrd doesnt seem to be picking
up the ehci-hcd module for some reason.
Did you have to do any special config changes to make the initial ramdisk ?
Thanks,
Adit
