Hello Everyone,
Just installed new version of xen on latest gentoo on an IBM xseries 346
(older machine), and it keeps rebooting when trying to load the xen kernel.
I really don't know how to debug this and would really appreciate your help.
Kind Regards,
Mike.

Sounds good, actually.
Will try to remember it for my next system, but these are both openRC
I can't make any sense of it.
It's doing this with 2 different SDcards, I think - this is the brand new

Any recommendations for a simple NTP client?

/etc/runlevels/def
