Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I've tried using the domU, here's my config:
kernel ="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4xenU"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4xenU.img"
memory = 260
name = "rhel-3-es"
nics = 1
disk = ['phy:hda3,sda1,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
Any chance you could post your configs and how you installed rhel3.
The only real difference here is that I did not use an initial ram disk. I
do not see a reason that it would be useful because the unprivileged domain
cannot access any hardware directly, and so will need no additional device
drivers.
Regarding the installation of RHEL3, I did use CentOS-3 instead. The main
reason beeing that you can boostrap a CentOS-3 installation using yum in a
chroot environment; I could not find a way to do this using up2date.
I created this installation on a regular CentOS-3 machine, than used tar to
copy the whole installation and extracted it into the mounted root partition
for the domU.
See here for ways to install a guest:

In general I would recommend to use rather RHEL4 as I recommend using a 2.6
kernel with xen, and not a 2.4 one. Still if you need RHEL3, I've had not
problems with the 2.6 kernel by now.
If you still have problems, you should probably post to the xen-users list
including detailed information of error output.
