ISOLINUX can't boot Xen directly -- the error message you're getting is because it's trying to boot xen.gz as a linux kernel. There's a module, mboot.c32, which ships with more recent versions of syslinux and will let you boot Xen with a config file something like: LABEL Xen KERNEL /boot/mboot.c32 APPEND /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 --- /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-24.16-xen root=/dev/sda2 --- /boot/initrd-2.6.8-24.16-xen Have a look at com32/modules/mboot.doc in a recent syslinux tarball for more details. Grub is able to boot Xen directly; see the Xen user manual for details of what to put in menu.lst and the GRUB docs for how to make a CD: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/readmes/user/user.html http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/ Tim. -- Tim Deegan (My opinions, not the University's) Systems Research Group University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
