Re: [Xen-users] Fedora Core 5 boot problems
I've just installed from the tarball install.sh also and have the same
issue. (Mine is on RHEL4U2 on x86_64.)
When I tried the mkinitrd, I get this error:
[root@stone-age-global /]# /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.16-xen.img
2.6.16-xen
No dep file found for kernel 2.6.16-xen
After looking through the other kernels I have, it seems as though they
have them.
What is the workaround here? Do we just copy over the other deps and
modify them for 2.6.16-xen?
Thanks
eric
