[Xen-users] FC 9 xen kernel does not boot

[Eredicator X <eredicatorx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to boot the fedora core 9 xen kernel(2.6.25.3-2.fc9.x86_64.xen). 
Cause it is one of 2 that when I boot it sees all 4GB of my memory. 

When I try to boot the xen kernel from grub, it boots it up and then the last 
message is "Xen relinquishing VGA console". Then the next kernel 
2.6.25.11-97.fc9.x86_64 is booted. 

Here is my grub.conf for the xen kernel. 

title Fedora (2.6.25.3-2.fc9.x86_64.xen)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /xen.gz-2.6.25.3-2.fc9.x86_64.xen
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.25.3-2.fc9.x86_64.xen ro 
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
        module /initrd-2.6.25.3-2.fc9.x86_64.xen.img

I do not see any issues with grub and since the kernel has not started there is 
no logging of what went wrong where. 

Is there a way I can fire up this kernel to see where the problems are and try 
to correct them? I am not so skilled with kernel level things. Also is it 
possible I will need to rebuild my own kernel for my particular motherboard. 

Software; FC-9 with xen 
Hardware; AMD_64 Phenom 
          GA-MA770-S3 MB
          RV505 [Radeon X1550 Series] 
          4GB of DIMM 800MHZ RAM
          3x 500GB SATA WD HD
          


My goal with this box is, build a entire virtual environment, 2 clustered web 
servers, 2 clustered mail servers, 2 clustered FTP servers, and back end 
storage using ISCSI or some other open nas system. The creation of my own 
private sand box. 

I have been screwing around with diffrent Linux distros to find one I was 
comfortable with as a base system. I would like to use cent 5.1 but xen would 
not boot on my hardware and it did not see all 4 gigs of ram. 2 problems as 
opposed to 1 in FC9. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Regards, 

Erin
