Not that great. Is there something I'm missing?


You'd have to kexec the hypervisor and give it a module of the vmlinuz file, in the same way that grub does it. I've no idea if kexec has that functionality though.

All right, something like that gets me farther:

kexec -l xen-3.1 --module="vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen-uncomp initrd-2.6.18-xenU.img"

But ends with a xen kernel panic:

(XEN) Panic on CPU 0:
(XEN) IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!


Adding "noapic" seems to help; so far I'm stuck with inability to find root. Which is rather strange, as I append exactly the same options as to original kernel.
