Hi Chris,

well I had the sam problem. It's seems that the initrd itself is missing. I've
just made an initrd with(example):

mkinitrd /boot/initrd-xen.img 2.6.18-xen

(if I remember it right)... if you got some special hardware, like HDD Controller which needs extra kernel-modules please make sure they're build into the initrd otherwise your HDD's won't be recognized(you can check it with the -v option in mkinitrd).



Cheers,
 Marcel

Hi,



I recently put together an OpenSuse 10.2 machine (Tyan motherboard with Opteron dual-core) and downloaded the Xen 3.1 rpm’s. After loading them and modifying grub to boot into the Xen kernel, I get a “file not found” error on the xen initrd file. As it turns out, there is a link for the xen initrd file in /boot/grub but the file doesn’t exist. Not sure what to even bother with except maybe building from the source code. Any ideas on why the rpm never installed the initrd file for xen? This is the correct rpm for Suse and the kernels are the same version.



Thanks,



Chris
