I did try the fedora's initrd, the system does boot with some errors (mostly complaints about modeprobe and /lib/modules/2.4.25-xeno.gz) but keeps on doing page faults (prints the stack trace and back to shell prompt). I thought that hardware may be flaky, no faults in plain fedora (even under heavy activity). So, I will have to look for some other way (maybe time time to try debian?).

Actually, can you try the default initrd, ie. the one that comes with fedora and not the one from the xen demo cd? That is what I used and can imagine that the xen boot cd initrd tries to mount the cd

Hi Ishwar

I have used Xen/Xenolinux with Fedora without any problems. I installed Fedora and the copied xen.gz and xenolinux.gz (albeit build from unstable source) into the /boot directory, adjusted the grub.conf in /boot/grub and it just works.

I just copied the xenolinux.gz from the xen-1.2 demodisk. I have do not have a serial console, so can list the last (visible part only):

It is all I can get. BTW the root file system is ext3 and not ext2 (as displayed by boot message).
