Hello,

The pxeconfig part:

label sapcl03-xen
  kernel mboot.c32
  append sles10/xen.gz dom0_mem=258048 --- sles10/linux-xen netdevice=eth0 
insmod=aic79xx console=ttyS0,57600 --- sles10/initrd-xen.sapcl03

The thing sort of boots:

    COM32 Multiboot loader v0.2.  Copyright (C) 2005-2006 Tim Deegan.
    Kernel: sles10/xen.gz dom0_mem=258048 
    Loading sles10/xen.gz.....
    Module: sles10/linux-xen netdevice=eth0 insmod=aic79xx console=ttyS0,57600 
    Loading sles10/linux-xen.......................
    Module: sles10/initrd-xen.sapcl03 
    Loading 
sles10/initrd-xen.sapcl03...............................................
    Booting: MBI=0x000100d8, entry=0x00100000

and then just hangs.

I also tried with:

DEFAULT mboot.c32 sles10/xen.gz dom0_mem=258048 --- sles10/linux-xen ro 
console=ttyS0,57600 --- sles10/initrd-xen.sapcl03

but that results in a strange

    Could not find kernel image: mboot.c32

The pxe/dhcp/tftp setup should be fine and I can boot ok the
regular sles10 kernel.

This is, as you guessed, a sles10 distribution. The boot stuff is
from the kernel-xen package.

The syslinux release is syslinux-3.11-2.

Cheers,

Dejan
