Re: [Xen-users] Xen kernel panic on FC5

[Mark Williamson <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,

Could you please post your whole grub.conf file so we can see what your 
existing install was using as boot options?  This shouldn't be that difficult 
to fix.

Are these the FC5 Xen RPMs?  I'm surprised they didn't create a grub.conf 
entry for you...

Cheers,
Mark
