I cannot boot on i686 pv-grub Xen... Is there any special setting in mkinitcpio.conf?

My mkinitcpio.conf has: MODULES="xen-blkfront xen-kbdfront xen-netfront evtchn xenfs" HOOKS="base udev autodetect filesystems" Hosted on Linode. There was some issue with pv-grub in the past which they patched, not sure how the situation is with vanilla pv-grub now.

no..I am using the stock kernel i686 Best regards, Liu Yu Fei, Eric Computer Science, CUHK On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 8:22 PM, Dan McGee wrote:

Are you building your own kernel? These files are in the Arch stock kernel package:
