Hey, all --

I'm trying to port an autoyast config from opensuse 10.1 to 10.2.

This particular config installs a xen server -- a dom0, onto which xen
virtual servers are installed.

In 10.1, I could specify this section in the bootloader config, and it
worked fine:
      <section>
        <append>   resume=/dev/sda1  splash=silent showopts
dom0_mem=512M</append>
        <initrd>/boot/initrd-xen</initrd>
        <kernel>(hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-xen</kernel>
        <lines_cache_id>2</lines_cache_id>
        <name>XEN</name>
        <original_name>xen</original_name>
        <root>/dev/md0</root>
        <type>image</type>
        <vga>0x317</vga>
        <xen>/boot/xen.gz</xen>
        <xen_append>dom0_mem=512M</xen_append>
      </section>


But in 10.2, that config doesn't seem to work.  The resulting menu.lst
entry is:

kernel (hd0,1)/boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=512M
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd-xen

Grub tries to boot, but then dies with the complaint that the Linux
kernel must be loaded before initrd.

Anyone have any pointers to documentation, or suggestions about other
things that might be worth trying?

Thanks!

- Ian
