Setting up linux-image-2.6.25-2-xen-686 (2.6.25-2) ...

Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done

So the 2.6.25-2-xen-686 kernel was not added to the menu.lst automatically. By
"hand" I tried first:

title           Xen 3.2-1-i386 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.25-2-xen-686
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          //xen-3.2-1-i386.gz
module          //vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-xen-686 root=/dev/mapper/vg00-root ro
console=tty0
module          //initrd.img-2.6.25-2-xen-686

It started to boot but froze after:

(XEN) Xen is relinquishing VGA console.

Then I tried:

title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.25-2-xen-686
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		//vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-xen-686 root=/dev/mapper/vg00-root ro console=tty0
initrd		//initrd.img-2.6.25-2-xen-686

but that returned:

Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format.

Jozef.
