I've got the xen Dom0 kernel running, and I can boot a RHEL5 guest just
fine.  Next step is to try to boot one of my RHEL4 systems.

So I created a file-backed VBD and copied the entire RHEL4 server over to
it.  I then put the RHEL4 kernel and ramdisk files in the RHEL5's  /boot
directory, and changed the config file to point to them:

# Kernel image file.
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.ELsmp"
 
# Optional ramdisk.
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.9-42.ELsmp.img"

and did an xm create.  I get the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] xen]# xm create -c tolstoy
Using config file "tolstoy".
Error: (9, 'Bad file descriptor')

Changing the kernel and ramdisk to point to the RHEL5 equivalences will boot
just fine.

They're both 32-bit machines, so that's not the problem.  I re-copied the
files, just to be sure - no luck.

Any pointers appreciated...
