is it grub or pygrub ? If it's really grub then I guess the domU you have is HVM, not PV. if so, you should not use the XEN kernels (these are for PV domUs) but a plain i386 kernel. GENERIC has options multiboot, so it should be loadable by grub. -- Manuel Bouyer <[email protected]> NetBSD: 26 ans d'experience feront toujours la difference --
