Hi, after having installed packages kernel-xenpae and xen I found a "Suse xenpae" entry in grub's menu.lst reading

kernel /boot/xen-pae.gz

but this xenpae.gz wasn't present in /boot. Is this due to a bug in the installer or did I mess up something? Should xenpae.gz be a link to xen.gz ?

I don't know. Isn't this documented in the manuals? If not, please file a bugreport in our bugzilla.

according to the docs PAE is needed only to access > 3GB on a 32 bit machine; I guess that PAE stuff should be unnecessary on a 64 bit host (infact the 32bit version of package xen contains a xen-pae.gz file, while the 64 bit version does not), but in this case the installer shouldn't create a pae entry in grub; I'll wait to read what others have to say before creating a bogus entry in bugzilla -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
