Hi!

 I have a tip for you:

1- Get the ISO of the Debian Lenny 5.0 amd64 from http://debian.org;
2- Install your Debian into your own partition scheme (LVM over RAID);
3- Reboot into your new fresh Debian Lenny; upgrade it;
4- * GRUB1 is still the default in Lenny, verify it;
5- Install the Xen with the command: "aptitude install xen-linux-system-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64";
6- Reboot into you new dom0.

Cheers!
Thiago

Hi. I have series x3500 ibm server running xen 3.0.3 from etch. When trying to
use xen 3.2.1 from lenny, xen hangs without any messages just after grub2
starts booting the xen image.

When I tried livexen cd with xen 3.2.1 from lenny, it works just fine. The
only difference is probably that livexen uses grub legacy, while I have to use
grub2, because my root is on raid+lvm.

Also, current configuration doesn't see all of the 6GB of ram, only the first
3GB, even with pae xen installed, that's why I'm trying to get newer xen up.
However It might be problem with grub but I have no idea how to find out.

I'd like to try to find out if I really can't get newer xen running before
I'll have to try using kvm or something like that.

Could anyone point me in some useful direction?

thanks
Martin Kraus
