RE: [Xen-users] can't start RH4 domU on RH5 dom0 Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

["Andrey Dmitriev" <admitriev@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Modified my config file as


[root@mt-mail1 xen]# more /etc/xen/scalix2
#kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz"
#ramdisk = "/boot/initrd.img"
kernel="/mnt/software/vmlinuz-2.6.9-55.ELxenU"

memory = 512
name   = "hating-xen"

vif    = ['ip = "10.0.1.150", bridge=xenbr0']

disk   = [
          '/dev/XEN/scalixroot,sda1,w',
          '/dev/XEN/scalixvar,sda3,w',
          '/dev/XEN/scalixswap,sda2,w'
         ]


BTW, it boots fine with vmlinuz, which is a CentOS xen kernel. However, 
it goes right into some installation, which I can't seem to get out of. 
Does it really matter which kernel I run? And how can I avoid the 
installation menus.

I also just discovered that I boot fine with 
vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.6.el5xen, but it pukes on mounting file systems.

pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
