Good evening all, I've all but finished installing Xen 2.0.5, XenLinux 2.6.10 and Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r4 into /boot on a colo box currently (and temporarily) running CentOS. I've chrooted into the debian install (chroot /boot /bin/bash) and was able to set everything up, install requisite packages, install xen, etc. Now I'm at the last step and I've run into problems. When I point grub at xen.gz it complains loudly: GNU GRUB version 0.95 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename. ] grub> root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub> kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 console=vga [Multiboot-elf, <0xb72f2000:0x3ef3c:0x360c4>(bad) Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory grub> Does anyone have any ideas about how to solve this one? I have set up the menu.lst but would rather not have to call on a console jockey should things go awry as it's a colo box in another country. The underlying CentOS 3.4 is using grub 0.93 (the new / is currently polluted with the current running kernel and grub directory as it's still mounted as /boot for the time being - it will be / when all this works). I'd have tried recompiling were I not short on space - it would be nice if that were all I needed to do. It's an Athlon 2000+ with 512Mb RAM and an 80Gb IDE disk, by the way, per the following /proc contents. Let me know if there's anything else you need to know.
