Hey great that worked :)

Thanks for that.

The problem I have now is that it doesn't boot up, it keeps rebooting.
I'm running rhel 3, although I can't see this is particular to it.
This is the last message before rebooting:

PCI: sharing IRQ 9 with 00:1f.2

Then it reboots. Here's my grub conf. Any ideas why this is happening?

title Xen (2.4)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen-2.0.6.gz dom0_mem=131000 root=/dev/hda1 ro
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.4-xen0
module /boot/initrd-2.4.30-xen0.img

I made the initrd by doing the following:

1) cd /lib/modules/2.4.30-xen0
2) touch modules.dep
3) mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.30-xen0.img 2.4.30-xen0

As an additional question to this, is there a way for me to use the
kernel config file from the redhat kernel for the xen kernel? If so
where do I put the .config file in the xen-2.0 directory and how do I
refer to it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Shaz
