[Fedora-xen] 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor does not boot (booting is interrupted by restart)

[Jan Andrejkovic]

Hello everybody,

This is my first e-mail into this mailing list. I have a problem to start
2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor kernel (domain0).

When I select this option in a grub I can see that xen hypervisor is loading
but after short time my laptop is restarted.
I cannot tell you last (error) message because pause or CTRL+S does not work
and laptop is restarted before drives are mounted so I have no logs.
Do you have any idea where is the problem and how can I pause booting so I
can see last (error) message?

Other details: I have Dell latitude D600 with Pentium M. I have upgraded FC4
to FC5 test3 using DVD iso. I have updated all packages after that using yum
update.
Kernel 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 works fine on my laptop. I was also able to start
domain0 in FC4 using kernel from Rik van Riel's web page (2.6.12-1.1454_FC4
).

Some other problems I found:
When I upgraded from FC4 to FC5 test3 I did not see any option to install
XEN from DVD (I have selected upgrade not new install in anaconda).
Also entries for FC4 kernel were deleted from my grub.conf and original
grub.conf was not saved.
When I have installed kernel 1977_FC5 or 1977_FC5hypervisor my grub.conf was
not updated, so I had to update it manually (I have used yum install).

Part of my grub.conf configuration (manually added) - do you see any problem
here?
