Have you try the guide posted and boot into xen-kernel-2.6.32.56-0 first? If that is successfully, then you can follow the guide to create the v3.0 or v3.1 or v3.2 kernels repo then enable it and using yum install choon-kernel to install? Would appreciate feedback about the failure or success ;) > > I-ll check and report as soon as I get to the DC tomorrow, I'll also check > the howto again. Thanks for it in advance. Please let me know your network ethernet information (lspci -vvv output and lsmod output) as I am afraid it may be an issue. Sometimes, if a board has two same onboard ethernet and when you boot stock kernel you get the order of eth0 as HW ... 01 and eth1 as HW ... 02 then when you boot into custom kernel you get the order being switched. I encountered it before and checked the udev rules file to make sure (/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules) is correct. > > Many many thanks for taking the toime to put together that nice and useful > info. Those repos are there for years actually just that SL6/CentOS6 are considered quite new in those repos. I used the same repos when using CentOS 5 as dom0 last time but cease it due to the time involved to support those in CentOS 5. I rather focus on SL6/CentOS6 :) Just beware that all my dom0 servers are SL6 based. Feedbacks are greatly appreciated and if you need assistance off this list are welcome (just compose another new mail direct to me so that I know it is not from this xen-users list). Thanks.
