Hi Dan and All,

I'm trying to boot DomainU on RHEL4.
I cannot also boot DomainU.

I tried to do the following way.

After build and Dom0 boot
1. cp linux-2.6.12-xenU/vmlinux /boot/vmlinux-2.6.12-xenU
2. cd linux-2.6.12-xenU
3. lomount -t ext2 -diskimage /root/xenia64.img -partition 2 /mnt
   (xenia64.img is RHEL3 domain image.)
4. vi /etc/xen/rhel3
   kernel = "/boot/vmlinux-2.6.12-xenU"
   memory = 512
   name = "rhel3"
   nics=0
   disk = [ 'phy:loop0,hda1,w' ]
   root = "/dev/hda1 ro"
   extra = "1"
5. xm create -c rhel3
6. Boot DomainU and Stop the below
   RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
7. and xm dmesg is the bellow

=======================
I think this error is the same as Dan.

Is this error concerned about "[Xen-ia64-devel] Problem with xen-
unstable cset 7937 (grant tabletransfer fix)" , Dan?

Could anyone advice me?

Best Regards,

Akio Takebe
