Hi there,

sorry for not 100% understanding what you wanne do,
but if i’am right:

you just copy the kernel (if it fits arch) to yout /boot/ device and edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst to fit the new kernel, should work than.

BUT, if you just wanne have xen working you may install the xen via yast

I add a grub entry to boot CD/DVD from it because I can’t access my
laptop BIOS, I can boot the live CD’s and the x86 DVD, but the x86_64
fail, inside the DVD on /boot/x86_64 the only initrd and vmlinuz are
xen, caould it be the cause of the error??? why initrd-xen and
vmlinuz-xen and not the default ones?

so, you cant set your pc to boot from cd and that is why you wanne boot via grub from that?

If i understood it right now, than, sorry, but as far as i know there is now simple way to do that. I saw some description using a lot of stuff to do that, and there never was guarantee that it will work. I think you should try google on that, because this is rather an grub boot issue than it belongs to opensuse.

But after that, i’am really interested in the “long story” :slight_smile:

Yes, the problem is, I can boot from grub the live cd’s and the x86 dvd,
but I can’t boot the x86_64 DVD

I’ve configure grub to boot from CD/DVD already (I installed 11.2 using
grub to boot the DVD), but I want to know why the initrd and vmlinuz on
the DVD are -xen and if is because of it that I can boot the x86_64 DVD

is not so long really, I have set a password for it and it seem
something go wrong, or I forget it, or I typed it bad or my acer is one
with the bios bug that you set it, but it change
