Hi list, I''m trying to get xen-unstable working on a dual opteron. My dom0 is a debian-amd64 testing release, and it is working fine! But I''m unable to boot my domU. I also istalled a debian-amd64 on this one. Every time the kernel tries to mount the root partition it panics: Linux version 2.6.12-xenU (xenod@firebug.cl.cam.ac.uk) (gcc version 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)) #1 SMP Mon Aug 29 03:18:30 BST 2005 kernel direct mapping tables upto ffff880004000000 @ 800000-822000 PCI: Warning: Cannot find a gap in the 32bit address range PCI: Unassigned devices with 32bit resource registers may break!

The FS of my xenU image ist ext3. Even with an initrd.img it was not mountable. Some time ago i installed an xen 2 Server without problems, but i have no ideas left where the problem might be. Does anyone of you have a solution or even a hint?
