Thread-topic: Xen 3.1 kernel panics on RHEL4u5
Hello,
 
I am trying to install Xen 3.1 (with Linux kernel 2.6.18) from source on a machine running RHEL4u5 (2.6.9-55.ELsmp), but I am getting kernel panics.  I've listed the KPs below.  The first listing is with an initrd image specified, and the second one is without an initrd image.  For the second listing, I am only including the portion that differs from the first.
                                              
With initrd image:

Some of the threads I've seen indicate that missing SATA support might be the culprit, but the SATA portions of my kernel configuration files seem to be identical in the relevant areas:
 
RHEL Kernel configuration:
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set
...
CONFIG_ATA=m
CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=m
CONFIG_SATA_SVW=m
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=m
CONFIG_SATA_MV=m
CONFIG_SATA_NV=m
CONFIG_PDC_ADMA=m
CONFIG_SATA_QSTOR=m
CONFIG_SATA_PROMISE=m
CONFIG_SATA_SX4=m
CONFIG_SATA_SIL=m
CONFIG_SATA_SIL24=m
CONFIG_SATA_SIS=m
CONFIG_SATA_ULI=m
CONFIG_SATA_VIA=m
CONFIG_SATA_VITESSE=m
CONFIG_SATA_INTEL_COMBINED=y
Xen Linux configuration from xen-3.1.0-src/build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_64:
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set
...
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_AHCI=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SVW=m
CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_MV=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV=m
CONFIG_SCSI_PDC_ADMA=m
CONFIG_SCSI_HPTIOP=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_QSTOR=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_PROMISE=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SX4=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL24=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIS=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_ULI=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VIA=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VITESSE=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_INTEL_COMBINED=y

My grub.conf (with initrd specified):
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.6.9-55.ELsmp)
 root (hd0,0)
 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-55.ELsmp ro root=/dev/sda3 rhgb quiet
 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-55.ELsmp.img
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES-up (2.6.9-55.EL)
 root (hd0,0)
 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-55.EL ro root=/dev/sda3 rhgb quiet
 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-55.EL.img
title Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6
 root (hd0,0)
 kernel /xen-3.1.gz dom0_mem=262144 com1=115200,8n1 console=com1
 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen root=/dev/sda3 ro console=ttyS0,115200
 module /initrd-2.6.18-xen.img
 
Does anyone have any idea of what might be causing the kernel panics?
 
Thanks,
-Ryan
