I've just done an apt-get dist-upgrade to the release Etch (wohoo!), and I'm starting to dabble with Vserver a bit, so I installed the xen-vserver kernel.

Funny thing is - I can't convince Grub that it's a kernel image -- it says

     Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format.

Every other kernel image, including the non-vserver 2.6.18-4 is ok, but vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-xen-vserver-686 looks odd.

- `file` reports for /boot/vmlinuz repors a type of "Linux kernel x68
boot executable RO-rootFS, <bla bla>". For the xen-vserver vmlinuz it
says "gzip compressed data".

- debsums linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-vserver-686 reports OK for all the files.

Smells like a bug, but I might be doing something stupid here. Any
suggestions?

This is a Xen kernel -- you need to boot it via the Xen hypervisor.

If you want the non-Xen vserver kernel, install linux-image-2.6.18-4-vserver-686.
