Hi Chris,

I don't know the solution, but I don't think that writing
into /proc survives the reboot. On my SUSE 9.3 I have some
kernel settings in /etc/sysctl.conf which are then written
into /proc with /etc/init.d/boot.sysctl
(sysctl -e -p /etc/sysctl.conf)
but I don't know if this script is run before your panic.
So I hope there is a better solution.

BTW - did you try booting from the GRUB commandline, maybe
into runlevel 1 at a first try?

Regards,
Friedl

You guys are great, figuring thios out would have
taken many beers :-) This really helped, now I could
shoot a picture of the boot screen if I still needed
to (as someone else suggested) but...

... my install claims to load reiserfs kernel module
for the default kernel. I plaid around with Suse 9.e
packages from Garloff's page. It worked there. Thus I
Think it muts be hidden either in the initrd or some
config file.

You ar perfectly right: it does not. So John's
solution is the way to overcome thisone (add panic=xx
after showopts in grub menu.lst file).

Chris,
It sounds like you and I are having the same issue.
1) add panic=60 to the end of your xen kernel line (after showopts). This
will allow you to read the screen before it reboots

2) I am seeing issues loading what looks like ext3 and jkd modules. with
some type of struct_ error, my autoraid is starting, I get a mount error
something like invalid option, then BLAM panic.

Add noreboot to the kernel line to keep from rebooting.
