I just tried it and I got exactly the same result, i.e., a kernel
panic with the same messages in the console.

I want to try this, but since the RHEL4 default kernel is 2.6.9 and
the one I build for xen is 2.6.16 I'm not sure if I should just use
the /boot/config-2.6.9-5.ELsmp before building the 2.6.16 kernel
again... I guess there may be too many different options... Has
anybody tried this before?

Thanks.

Gustavo.
