Hello guys,
Sorry for the delay too, but I wanted to post until I had good news :). And actually I do. I have managed to compile vanilla kernel 3.1.0 rc8
I need Dom0 and ROOT NFS support as well.
@JPPO: Thank you! I cannot use the debian kernel packages because I need to customize the kernel to have ROOT NFS working. It's
worth saying I tried it but it didn't boot since it stopped at: [ configuring network interfaces... ] (never continuing)
Now It boots perfectly, but it is far too much slow, it has taken 3 hours now and it cannot finish starting GDM, it shows the little white circle
spinning but nothing more yet.
I have also added dom0_mem=1024 to the linux kernel module. Any ideas guys?
Thank you a lot!
Regards,
Tony.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay in replying.
So the kernel that works is 3.0.0 ?
I am using 3.0.4 and it works very well, solved some of my other issues.
Thanks
Ian

Hello,
If you are using Debian 6 you could try the vmlinuz-3.0.0-1-rt-amd64 kernel which seems to work very well on my system.
I think it is worth a try.
