[syslinux] Using syslinux to boot xen without initrd

[Ingrid Ribeiro Galvez]

Hello all,

I have a Linux kernel image with Xen compiled  for an embedded system. It
doesn't need an initrd as everything required for it to boot is already in
the final kernel image, and it works perfectly. But I'm having problems to
boot the Xen image without an initrd. I'm following this guideline
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Xen for my syslinux configuration
file, but without including an initrd. So it looks like this:


LABEL xen

  MENU DEFAULT
  KERNEL mboot.c32
  APPEND xen-4.3.2.gz dom0_mem=262144 --- ../vmlinuz-2.6.31.8
console=tty0 root=/dev/sda1 ro

What happens is that it tries to load but keeps looping back to the
bootloader menu. I think it might be expecting the initrd image. Anybody
knows how to set the configuration file for xen so it doesn't need an
initrd??

Thank You!

Cheers,

Ingrid
