So now I''m able to boot the guest but I end up with an error regarding
the
root disk:
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
Below is my config file:
def vmid_check(var, val):
val = int(val)
if val <= 0:
raise ValueError
return val
xm_vars.var(''vmid'',
use="Virtual machine id. Integer greater
than 0.",
check=vmid_check)
xm_vars.check()
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen"
memory = 128
name = "VM%d" % vmid
vcpus = 2 # make your domain a
4-way
vif = [ '''' ]
disk = [ ''phy:hdc3,hdc3,w'' ]
dhcp="dhcp"
root = "/dev/hda1 ro"
extra = "3 VMID=%d usr=/dev/hdc1" % vmid

I need to "install" a root fs from jailtime.org or create one from scratch. All the Xen docs seem to stop once dom0 has booted. Why are there so few docs on installing the guest OS?

There are a lot, and a lot are mentioned in the xen wiki at wiki.xensource.com. There''s one for about any Xen-enabled distribution. BTW: is the wiki mentioned in the Xen README? It should be.
