<p dir="ltr">Hi Paul,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I suppose that I should warn you that I have not set up Xen for many years. Although I had made the initial attempts to introduce Xen to SBo, I lacked proper hardware and spare time, and Mario offered to take over. He showed me that he had delved deeper into Xen and I was glad to pass all my work to him. Since then Xen changed a lot and I forfeited any claims that I had contributed to the current slackbuilds in SBo.</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to my recollection, dom0 and domU boot from the same kernel and initrd. I hope that it is correct and it is somehow useful.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Did you contact Mario for assistance? </p>
<p dir="ltr">Chris</p>

Hey Chris,<br>
<br>
I haven't been clear.. I did build the custom kernel with the
scripts from the slackbuild after installing xen.<br>
<br>
I checked I was running domain0 by <br>
<br>
xl list<br>
<br>

Its the domU I'm having trouble with. slackware installed on the
image but then I can't create domU.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px"><br>
When you mention a custom kernel I assume that you mean
vmlinuz-3.10.17-xen?<br>
</p>
<br>
is that correct?<br>
<br>
I just got this to work using debian wheezy, learneda lot, but
still haven't ruled out going back to slack... I just need a wee lie
down first.. :)<br>
<br>
pretty freaky having 2 servers on one box.... ;)<br>

I understand that you need a custom kernel for dom0.</p>
