Are there any very new 3ware hardware on the remote system? Or nvidia
video cards? I have had problems with both of those.
Best way I know to get the Xen boot logs is to use a serial console
and specify console=com1,tty com1=115200,8n1
on the xen.gz line in grub.conf. Also make sure that when
you installed the kernel-xen that the initrd.img was made correctly.
The other thing you could do is to chkconfig xend off and
reboot on the xen kernel again, to see if it is actually
the kernel that is the problem or starting up the userspace xend.
Have seen that break too, although not on the version of the
kernel you mention, which is exactly the same version I run
in production.

Hi,
I had a remote server running CentOS 5.2, with XEN from official CentOS
repositories.
I installed both xen and kernel-xen packages on the server & than modified
the grub's menu to boot from XEN kernel.
Package details:
kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5
xen-libs-3.0.3-64.el5_2.1
xen-3.0.3-64.el5_2.1
But the system is not booting from the newly installed XEN kernel, it gets
stuck up.
System boots perfectly with normal kernels
Other installed kernels
kernel-devel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5
kernel-2.6.18-92.el5
kernel-devel-2.6.18-92.el5
kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5
kernel-headers-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5
Where can I found XEN boot logs, to find out the reason behind this,
Being remote system I am totally unaware about what is going wrong while
booting from XEN kernel.
