Hi,

I don't think aic7xxx is compiled in the xen 2 kernel, find /lib/modules/*xen* -name aic\* gives nothing :(

I would love to run xen 3 (which actually worked when I installed it on Ubuntu, and which would probably work like a breeze on Redhat AS4) but:

1. I need Redhat AS3 images as DomUs (and could not find such ready made images)
2. I need a 2.4 kernel for the DomUs (as close as possible to the one shipped with Redhat AS3)

So I thought the easiest way would be to have RHAS 3 as Dom0, but I realize it's not that easy and from another thread I understand I cannot have a 2.4 kernel running on top of a 2.6 xen kernel.

I'm pretty much stuck here.

  Hmmm, is aic7xxx compiled as a module in the xen 2 kernel ? What does a
    find /lib/modules/*xen* -name aic\*
  give ?

  I've just looked on a server using xen 3.0.3 and the module is there.

  Well, you could run a 2.6 kernel on RHEL 3. Actually, I think you
can forget about your RHN support if you run a non-RedHat kernel
anyway, so you might as well go with a 2.6 one. The only package I
need to change on a RHEL 3.7 server to run a 2.6 kernel is
modules-init-tools (just get it from RHEL 4).
