Re: [Xen-devel] Xen not booting on debian

Shouldn't you have a "root (hdX,Y)" here?

kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072
 module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0
#  initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-1-386

As pointed out in the directions, you need to load an initrd after the XenLinux kernel with a 'module' directive, instead of an 'initrd' directive.

Xen 2.0 appears on the boot menu, but when it attempts to boot it just hangs after displaying:
 Booting 'Xen 2.0 / XenLinux 2.6.10'

kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072
[Multiboot-elf, <0x100000:0x4103c:0x3630c>, shtab=0x178078, entry=0x100000]
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0
  [Multiboot-module @ 0x179000, 0x408178 bytes]

The only thing I can come up with is that either (a) it doesn't like your hardware, or (b) it's picking up the serial port as a serial console (I've never seen it do that, and I didn't think the hypervisor would auto-pickup a serial port...); what kind of hardware are you booting it on? (Processor type, chipset type, amount of memory, etc.)
