Ya, I did it. No boot.log created when booting the xen-kernel, but |
| 12 |
reporting good status when I boot up the good 2.6.20 one. So, feature |

Okay, thanks a lot, I am looking for such information since I am new |
| 42 |
to xen. I will google for people running xen solutions on the same |
| 43 |
kind of boxes. |
