Re: [Xen-users] Poor hard disk performance on xen-3/dom0

I am having problem (previously discussed at http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2005-12/msg00533.html) getting Xen started on Ubuntu 5.10 (I did it successfully on RHFC4). The boot process freezes after loading initrd. Ubuntu doesn't have mkinitrd by default, so I am using mkinitramfs. I don't know if it is initrd that is causing problem. So if I could boot without using initrd, that might solve my problem. Right now if I don't use initrd the boot process just freezes.

As Ian mentioned I expect booting -xen kernel instead of -xen0 should improve things, just make sure you generate an initramfs for that image.

vmlinuz-2.6.12.6-xen is 1.6MB, initrd.img-2.6.12.6-xen is 5.4MB and I'm faily sure I generated that with mkinitramfs though it's been quite a while so I may be forgetting.

My full time workstation is a laptop running Ubuntu 5.10 on Xen 3 so it definitely works.
