Hello! I finally got back to spending a few hours on working on xenifying this pre-hardware-virtualization AMD64 machine. I re-installed the system. Basing it on stable (Lenny) this time. The ol' combo of xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 / linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 boots fine. Likewise when switching to xen-hypervisor-3.4-amd64. And then the goal, <http://hermes.jura.uni-tuebingen.de/~blank/debian/xen-test/linux-image-2.6.31-1-xen-amd64_2.6.31-2_amd64.deb> -- which finally, after rising dom0_mem=150000 (was 100000 before) the system actually boots instead of crashing / rebooting during the handover from initial Xen to Linux (I suppose). Please tell if you're interested in any logs etc. What I didn't try yet is creating domUs. But I'm now confident that this will work as well. :-) The plan is then to gradually update the system to Debian testing and see whether the booting / lvm / initramfs problems come back. Regards, Thomas
