Re: [Xen-users] gentoo not booting ( was Kernel panics)

you're right, but I am riding an ext3 fs which support is included
into the kernel itself, so I *should not* face fs problems.... but I
be sure... since no log. What's wrong on that kernel ? no idea. I
retrieved the fs/network/optim/ options (all built into the kernel, no
module to be sure) from the running kernel via make oldconfig ....

Well, it needs to boot and mount the filesystem before it can write to it. You're saying it does not even boot.

Well, it is my first try with xen, and I have no idea about patching
vanilla sources to make them xen compatible -xen-sources are in for
that purpose- but if you tell me it is not a hard pain, I can have a
deeper eye on it.

This is my first try too, and I haven't been successfull yet, so I'm not sure that I should give advice, but, I don't understand what you mean by it does not boot. What boot loader do you use (grub ?) ?

Once you tell it to boot, what happens, does it reboot right away and come back to the boot loader, or do you get the "XEN: xxx" mesages, and then it stops and reboot ?

Is your kernerl instruction pointing to a valid xen.gz ?
