Dear Pasi, I did a "readelf bzImage" command and it is not an ELF image. I even tried to do a readelf command on the default kernel (without Xen) that ships with Fedora 11 and it says not an ELF image too. Strange. Default installing Fedora 11 kernel not ELF image? When configuring the pv-ops dom 0 kernel, I always select bzip2 compression. I also carried out the readelf command on vmlinux and vmlinux.bin in the arch/x86/boot/compressed directory after compiling the kernel. Both files reported as ELF 64-bit executable but using vmlinux will NOT boot. Only using vmlinux.bin will boot.

Are you using LZMA compression for the kernel?

It's huge, but you can gzip it to make it a bit smaller.
