Hm, that seems odd, I'm certain this is one of the combinations that's been well tested. I need some more details about the dom0; is it x86_64, or i386? When the RHEL-4 guest crashes, can you run "xm dmesg" and post the output here?

I need some more details about the dom0; is it x86_64, or i386? When > the RHEL-4 guest crashes, can you run "xm dmesg" and post the output here? dom0 was x86_64 and the guest machine I was trying to install is i386, paravirtualized. Sorry I can not provide you with the output of "xm dmesg" at the moment because the machine is alredy being used under slightly different conditions. Best regards Jan Sarenik PS: I work as Lab Admin here in Brno office so I should be able to find some unused machine and test it again very soon. Will keep you updated. Now, I am trying intallation of paravirtualized i386 RHEL4.6 on top of x86_64 RHEL 5.1 (with all up-to-date RHN fixes) and it does not work on two different host machines (one of them being Dell 1950 server, the other Xeon based IBM Blade). Not even such nice debugging options like on the first machine where I was able to see kernel messages in virtual serial console. I feel like giving in, but if you think there is any chance for me to be helpful in this case, let me know please. Best regards Jan Sarenik -- Lab Admin / System Admin, Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99, Brno The collegue of mine told me that this particular configuration (putting RHEL4-32 on top of RHEL5-64) is tech-preview at the moment so now I know I am trying something which is well known for not working. You should definitely give up. i386 PV on x86_64 dom0 is a combination known not to work in 5.1. There are some patches going in for 5.2 that should help this; I'm going to close this as a dup of the BZ we are using to track 32-on-64 support.
