Hi, please attach yast logs - Also how do you install in this para-virtualized quest? via DVD?
The guest was installed via the network (ftp). Note that the first part of the install works fine through the file copy. It is on the reboot that the guest tries to boot the native kernel. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Um, I don't know how the domU bootloader works exactly (it's a Python script IIRC). Maybe it uses the default kernel regardless the flavor (xen vs. standard).
Arnold, does it help to make the xen kernel default? Does is boot correctly then?
Correct. Changing the 'default' field in menu.lst to use the xen entry solves the problem. Pygrub is the bootloader used to start PV guests and it relies on menu.lst. FWIW, in sles11sp1 there is only one entry in the menu.lst file for a para-virtualized sles11sp1 guest and it is the Xen kernel entry. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
