[syslinux] isolinux bin and Xen kernel

[Eric Nicholson]

I have RedHat Linux 5 with a xen kernel.

Here is some information on the system:
# uname -a
Linux dragon 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5xen #1 SMP Mon Apr 16 16:23:32 EDT 2007 i686
athlon i386 GNU/Linux

# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-8.1.3.el5xen)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
rhgb quiet
        module /initrd-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5xen.img


When booting from my recovery CD, which has worked when generated on RH 4
and earlier, I get the following error:

Boot:
Loading
Invalid or corrupt kernel image.
Boot:


I noticed that the grub.conf file now has a kernel line referencing the
"/xen.gz-2.6.18-8.1.3el5"  with a seperate module line for "
vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.3el5xen

Does the isolinux.cfg file support the "module" line?

It seems like something needs to be added to the isolinux.cfg to make this
work now.

Thanks for your help,
Eric
