Xen project Mailing List

Well, as far as I understand, when compiling xen with 'make dist' you getting general 2.6.18.8-xen kernel, which can act both as dom0 and domU. So, I've generated initrd image with following commands:

# depmod 2.6.18.8-xen
# mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img 2.6.18.8-xen

o I'm getting 3Mb initrd file.
And my grub config looks like this:

title Xen 3.2 / XenLinux 2.6.18
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen root=/dev/sdb4 ro console=tty0
module /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img

not sure you have updated the initrd with the latest dom0 kernel.

try running this: assumption: latest xen compiled generated
/lib/modules/2.6.18.8-xen0.

mkinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18.8-xen0 2.6.18.8-xen0
