Note: I appologize ahead of time if this posted twice. I did not see
the original post and I'm not sure that it was plain text.

I have RedHat Linux 5 with a xen.gz kernel.

I generate my recorvery Cd using isolinux.bin.  When booting from it,
which has worked when generated on RH 4 and earlier, I get the
following error:

Boot:
Loading
Invalid or corrupt kernel image.
Boot:

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




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
