Sorry forgot to attach my message, here it is:

Great thanks.

What I did was to download the 2.06 kernel. It has the 2.4 kernel in there.
Question:
Do I need to boot into a 2.4 xen0 kernel to run 2.4 kernel in domU's,
or can I run 2.4kernel domU while running a 2.6 Dom0 kernel.

Basically I'm getting my head round this idea.

In any case I tried to reboot into the 2.06 xen kernel on my sony vaio
but after loading some xen messages the system just reboots with out
loading: here's my grub.conf file:

title Xen  (2.4.30-xenU)
       root (hd0,1)
       kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=150000
       module /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.30-xen0 ro root=LABEL=/

Any ideas about this?

Thanks
Shaz
