Re: [Xen-users] Re: [Xen-devel] What is the implication to use	'module'd 
| 
Hi,
what Jan is trying to say is that, since the dom0 kernel needs an
intrd image and since these options are passed to Xen kernel as
modules directives, you´ll need to specify them  as modules in your
grub.
title Xen Unstable /Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.6.16.33
kernel /xen.gz console=vga <- Xen kernel
module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen  <- dom0 kernel passed as a Xen module
module initrd /initrd-2.6.16.33-xen.img <- dom0 initrd file passed as
a Xen module
Regards!

Jan,
I used SINGLE module to load kernel and SINGLE intird to load ramdisk in
grub.conf file.
title Xen Unstable /Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.6.16.33
 kernel /xen.gz console=vga
 module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
console=tty0
 initrd /initrd-2.6.16.33-xen.img
Based on what you explained, this should be fine. However, Xen Linux still
got a panic message: Linux kernel must be loaded before ramdisk.
How do you explain this?
Thanks,
Liang
