[Xen-users] Xen IBM X3400 boots dead

[Murray Thomson <murray_thomson7788@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am attempting to install a Xen solution on an IBM X3400. 

The raid card is the IBM M1015 which is based on the LSI 9220-8I. I followed the directions on the tutorial called "RHEL6 Xen4 Tutorial" at http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/RHEL6_Xen4_Tutorial . 

When I attempt to boot the kernel the computer freezes. I don't get any errors or anything helpful.

I have also attempted to boot the Linux kernel I compiled to use with Xen on its own and it behaves the same way. I surmise that there is something wrong with how I configured the kernel. Assuming this is the problem I can't verify for sure if the Xen image is functional or not.

I am at a loss as to where to go from here. I'm thinking a different kernel maybe or perhaps I have a mistake I just can't see. Can someone offer some insight.

I am including the grub.conf as a start reference. I can upload any other information needed. The Xen entry is the second last while the last entry in the Linux kernel on its own. Note this is an UEFI boot and the grub.conf is located in /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf while the os images are in /boot .
