Re: X Server crashes Redhat 5 XEN -- solved!

The machine was ordered with a 32 bit processor but was shipped with a 64 bit. Once I figured that out and installed the correct XEN the reboot problem went away.

I am evaluating Redhat 5 and came up against a problem with Xen.

I installed from a local CentOS 5.0 repository requesting the
Xen virtualization when I did. Later I installed the "regular" kernel fro comparison. Everything works pretty well under the non-Xen kernal. However, the Xen kernel and the i810 driver for X don't seem to get along. Every time I try to log out of X in Dom0 something causes the machine to reboot.

I don't see any obvious messages in the log files but it may be I don't know what to look for.
