[Xen-users] xen wont start on fedora 8 :-(

[Colin Manning <colin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get xen running on my new PC:

[root@mail ~]# uname -a
Linux mail 2.6.24.3-34.fc8 #1 SMP Wed Mar 12 18:17:20 EDT 2008 i686 i686 
i386 GNU/Linux
[root@mail ~]# rpm -qa | grep xen
xenner-0.23-1.fc8
xen-libs-3.1.2-2.fc8
xen-3.1.2-2.fc8
kernel-xen-2.6.21.7-2.fc8
[root@mail ~]#

[root@mail ~]# cat /etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/ITN1LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

When I boot the xen kernel, I get a message about no-one caring about 
IRQ9, and at about that time my keyboard stops responding (tested by 
watching the numlock light when pressing the numlock key)
I am using a stock standard Fedora 8 install only using yum to install 
and upgrade.
I would really like to get this working, but I have not found anything 
that works.
I have tried using irqpoll, but nothing seemed to change.

I have been searching for the better part of a day and have not found 
any reference to this problem.
Please help......
