Help with grub bootloader?
Hi, folks!
I'm trying to install a XEN3 image in a hosted VPS (at prgmr.com if it
matters). The instructions provided tell me to copy my NetBSD kernel
files, create a "menu.lst" file for the bootloader, and then boot.
Everything works great until I actually try to boot the INSTALL kernel.
I get the following error message:
Booting 'NetBSD install'
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel --type=netbsd /boot/netbsd-INSTALL_XEN3_DOMU
ERROR Invalid kernel: xc_dom_probe_bzimage_kernel: kernel is not a bzImage
The boot loader identifies itself as "GNU GRUB version 0.97"
Thinking that maybe it wanted me to bzip2 the kernel, I tried that, but
booting the .bz2 file gave me the same error.
Any suggestions?
