Re: [Xen-users] X fails starting with Xen kernel 2.6.22-14-xen on Ubuntu 7.10

["Emanuele Nespolo" <emanuele.nespolo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jim !

First af all thanks. Unfortunately loading capability module doesn't
work leading to an "Invalid argument" error :-( I found several people
facing the same problem with Ubuntu 7.10 but still no one found a good
solution it seems. Now my system has become completely unstable so I'm
going to install from scratch.

Best regards

Emanuele
