Thank you very much for your complete instructions.
I am now able to get further but domain0 still crashes. Just after
Freeing unused kernel memory... Warning: unable to open an initial console... cdrom: open failed
I get a very long string of errors
nbd0: Request when not-ready end_request: I/O error, dev nbd0, sector 0 Buffer I/O error on device nbd0, logical block 0 [ and 1]
this repeats for nbd1-nbd15. After which I get:
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filessystem with ordered data mode
But then (from Xen):
handle_op: can't handle privop at 0xa000000000010670 (op=0) slot 0 (type=5)
(note, NOT 0xa000000100010670)
and
udevstart[1047]: General Exception: IA-64 Privileged Operation fault 16 [1] Modules linked in:
and then a a long string of kernel core dumps, the first of which is comm=udevstart.
One difference in my process is that mkinitrd unless I add the following arguments: "--builtin mptbase --builtin mptscsih" (These are the Fusion drivers necessary to boot the HP box.)
So I am still not able to boot RHEL4 with Xen but I guess this is progress :-)

Hi Dan,
Plese call Akio. :-)
I probably did the following step.
# cd /root # hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-ia64-unstable.hg # cp /home/takebe/linux-2.6.12.tar.bz2 /root/xen-ia64-unstable.hg # cd /root/xen-ia64-unstable.hg # patch -p1 < /root/xen-xlilo.patch <-----Tristan's Patch # make world # make install-tools # cp xen/xen.gz /boot/efi/efi/xen/ # cp linux-2.6.12-xen0/vmlinux /boot/efi/efi/xen/vmlinux-2.6.12-xen0 # cd linux-2.6.12-xen0 # make modules_install # mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/xen/initrd-2.6.12-xen0.img 2.6.12.6-xen0 # vi /boot/efi/efi/xen/elilo.conf image=vmlinux-2.6.12-xen0 label=xen vmm=xen.gz initrd=initrd-2.6.12-xen0.img read-only append="com2=115200,8n1 console=com2 sched=bvt maxcpus=1 -- nomca nosmp console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200,8n1 rhgb root=/dev/sda2"
# reboot and boot with /boot/efi/efi/xen/xlilo.efi
Best Regards,

Takebe -- (Sorry, should I call you Akio or Takebe?)
Did you build and install from xen-ia64-unstable tip (cset 7734 or greater)?
If so, could you again provide the recipe for building and installing on RHEL4? I would like to try again and some things have changed (such as CONFIG_LOCALVERSION and the build process for domU) so I would like to understand the exact steps you used successfully first.
Thank you! Dan

Hi Tristan,
Great!!! I test your patch with xlilo on RHEL4. I confirmed Dom0 can be booted.
The following is my elilo.conf. :-) -------------------------- image=vmlinux-2.6.12-xen0 label=xen vmm=xen.gz initrd=initrd-2.6.12-xen0.img read-only append="com2=115200,8n1 console=com2 sched=bvt maxcpus=1 -- nomca nosmp console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200,8n1 rhgb root=/dev/sda2"
--------------------------
Best Regards,
Akio Takebe

Once the xen4elilo patch got applied, this no longer worked for me. It may have been my pilot error.
The key descision is when to move to new elilo.efi for Xen to take advantage of xen.gz loading. We should all move forward together to get the feature -Fred
Perhaps. But there is not a patch on the table for support of compressed images yet, and there is one waiting for xlilo. Since 3.0 is imminent, let's decide on the xlilo patch that is waiting. If a compressed image patch is available and tested prior to 3.0 freeze, we can consider that one too.
Here is the change. I have only tested it with the old elilo on my RHEL 3.
Tristan.
