Hi, I have a problem that's been dealt with in the past
here:
http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/port-xen/2006/11/04/0010.
html

I'm getting the same error when I try to boot the xen.gz
kernel -
"Error 3: Bad or corrupt data while decompressing
file"

The solution seems to be to make a small /, and set the
block
size to 8k, and fragment size to 1k.

This has solved the problem for me, on other hardware, in
the past.
This time, it didn't have any effect.

This is a Pentium D 3ghz (dual core), running NetBSD
4.0_BETA2
from 20070225.

/ is on a raid mirror, is 2GB in size, and has block and
fragment 
sizes of 8k and 1k respectively.

The grub install seems alright, I'm able to run grub with
this
configuration:
  root (hd0,0)
  chainloader +1

and get the NetBSD bootloader.

Does anyone have any advice on this?  Thanks.
