Re: [Xen-users] XEN 3.4.1-pre3 with newer Kernel

[Maik Brauer <mailinglist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Fabian,

I've downloaded the "xen-patches-2.6.29-6.tar.bz2" and the kernel  
"linux-2.6.29.4.tar.gz".
Then I patched the kernel with: bunzip2 -c /usr/src/xen- 
patches-2.6.29-6.tar.bz2 | patch -p1
After this I've compiled the xen-hypervisor with: "make install-xen"  
and installed the tools: "make install-tools"
Then I updated the Grub "menu.lst" with the particular informations  
and I've created a RAMDISK via: "mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.2.6.29-6- 
xen 2.6.29.6"
But after a reboot the system won't come up. Can you please tell me if  
the steps were right and if the kernel source was the right one.
Many Thanks.

Cheers,
Maik
