Hello All,
I am trying to make a currently
running Red Hat Enterprise AS3 32-bit system as a guest OS to an OpenSuse
11.2(86-64) Dom0.
When the guest os is started up,
from the vncviewer :5900 display, it gets as far as
Booting ‘Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS
(2.4.21-57-Elsmp)’
root (hd0,1)
Fileysystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-57.ELsmp ro root=/dev/sda2
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x14d31e]
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-57.ELsmp.img
and then it goes no further.
It does not crash or reports
errors, just not going any further.
I have looked around in the
xen-users archive, but don’t think there is a similar problem reported.
I would appreciate for advice from
anyone on this.
Below are the details.
Dom0: DELL 710 Server, OpenSuse

DomU: RH EL AS3 (32-bit) kernel 2.4.21-57.ELsmp
