Hi,

I am installing Xen 3.0 on a Ubuntu system. I am having trouble making the GRUB boot with the Xen dom0 image I built. I am using the initramdisk created by commands:
# depmod 2.6.12.6-xen0
# mkinitramfs -o initrd-2.6.12.6-xen0.img 2.6.12.6-xen0

Grub version: GNU GRUB  version 0.95
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The title paragraphs from menu.lst - first for regular Ubuntu kernel and second for Xen.

title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-9-686
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty1 console=ttyS0,38400 quiet splash
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-9-686
savedefault
boot

title           Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/xen-3.0.0.gz console=vga
module          /boot/vmlinuz- 2.6.12.6-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty1 console=ttyS0,38400 quiet splash
initrd          /boot/initrd-2.6.12.6-xen0.img
boot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


When I boot Xen 3.0/XenLinux 2.6, I get the  following message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Booting 'Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6'

root  (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

initrd  /boot/initrd-2.6.12.6-xen0.img

Press any key to continue...

I don't understand what is wrong with my grub entry for Xen. xen-3.0.0.gz is a multi-boot kernel. I built it from the Xen 3.0 source code.

I also don't understand the exact difference in giving the vmlinuz* image as a kernel as in first paragraph, versus giving it as a module as in Xen paragraph.

Can anyone tell me what can I try?

Thanks
