Hi,

The release notes for RHEL 5.1 on x86_64 mention that...
"Upgrading a host (dom0) system to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 may render existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 SMP paravirtualized guests unbootable. This is more likely to occur when the host system has more than 4GB of RAM. To work around this, boot each Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 guest in single CPU mode and upgrade its kernel to the latest version (for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5.z)."



At least to me this raises a few questions:

1. What which kernel corresponds to 4.5.z? ;)

2. Is there a better description somewhere about the root cause

3. If one installs a kernel corresponding to "4.5.z" before upgrading dom0 to 5.1 everything will keep on booting and things are just peachy?


Thanks :)




Kaj
