[Xen-devel] Xen, gridcluster, boot with red hat ent 3

[Rune Johan Andresen <runejoha@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, thanks for the answers, they will be important for this project and 
hopefully Xen can be usefull for the beta-oriented gridcluster. The 
only problem right now is to make it boot up with a distribution (Cern 
Linux) based on the Redhat Ent 3. I follow all the instructions, there 
should be no HW conflicts , but still the bootup halts on "Freeing 
kernel mem.." The Xen boots up perfectly with Debian Sid..
The Red Hat Ent 3 is pretty old, but the glibc is compiled for i686 and 
the Xen kernel is compiled for the the right cpu, so the traditional 
error are checked out. The system is not halting either, but seems to 
go in an eternal loop. The keyboard works, but I cannot ping or ssh the 
OS..
I have tried the sysreq option, where sysreq p gives:

PID: 1, comm            init
EIP: 0819[<00ae870>] CPU: 0 EFLAGS: 00201217 Not tainted


the last Bootlines gives:
