Ok....you saw the details of how I re-built in my prior message in
this thread.

I added:

8. I went to the kernel directory, and built the kernel from scratch:
        cd xeno-clone/xenolinux-2.4.22
(edited .config to add ReiserFS support)

Did the following:

then:
        make dep
        make
        make modules
        (as root) make modules_install (but there were none)
        make bzImage

        cd ../.. (to xeno-clone)
        make install
then copied in the new image.gz (xenolinux.gz was unchanged)

My grub boot (same as before, but with console=xencons0)

grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> kernel /xenimage.gz dom0_mem=100000 ser_baud=115200 noht noreboot

[output saying "yep, looks like a Multiboot ELF"]

grub> module /xenolinux.gz root=/dev/sda2 ro console=xencons0 DOMID=0

[output saying, "yep, it's a module"]

The result was the exact same boot I had before -- no extra debugging.
The final lines before death:

        Device eth0 opened and ready for use
        DOM0: Guest OS virtual load address is c0000000

Other ideas are welcome!
