Please retry with Milestone 6.
No Milestone 6 also does not work. Same error. -- 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.

While I can't check the full DVD images (don't have a local mirror, and downloading simply takes too long), openSUSE-NET-Build0233-x86_64.iso clearly has an issue: /boot/x86_64/loader/linux and /boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-xen are identical (but interestingly the two respective initrd-s aren't).
Since SLE11's Xen tools know pv-ops kernels (i.e. can deal with the bzImage format), they do find a PT_NOTES segment, but not the necessary Xen notes (and obviously also no compatibility __xen_guest section), hence the error message looks as if the image was at least somewhat Xen-ish.
Setting up my own install source and laying down an internal kernel build I could no longer reproduce this problem. I am hoping this issue is resolved with the next milestone release and your most recent kernel checkin. Unfortunately, I hit another problem with python - but that is a different bug (535253). -- 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.

I haven't rebuilt since I was getting those strange build service error messages a few days ago. I'll go ahead and do a new build now and try this out again.
The only change I made to the Milestone 6 install source was to put down the new vmlinuz-xen file I built in the /boot/x86_64 directory. This made the 'elf_xen_note_check' error go away. I then started hitting the python "invalid opcode" error from bug 513921 which may be related to 525253 because it is at the same location in xend (image.py, setCpuid). -- 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.
