Greetings...

I'm a bit earlier in the process than most of you, judging by the archives.

Trying to set up xen as released by Fedora Core 4.

I start with a minimal install and do:
yum update (lots of packages)
yum install xen (which installs five packeges)
yum install kernel-xenU kernel-xen0 (which installs as requested)
mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled

Then I reboot into the xen0 kernel. The system gets as far as
Switching to new root
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys

and stops.

The console still echoes, and the three-finger-salute still does an orderly shutdown, but the system never gets past the above.

I've tried this on two systems:
* Dell Precision 410
* Toshiba Tecra 8100
Same install, same yum update first, same xen packages, same result.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
</edg>
