Xen users - May 2006 - Sarge unstable +Adaptec 7892 +Software Raid1 +ReiserFS +Xen 3.0.2, could not boot

Hi everyone.

   Some body knows why my instalation always says Could Not mount root
device (0,0), then reboots, i try to compile my own dom0 kernel, but
always says the same thing.

   I''m seeking on create the initrd image, but nothings works. :(

The currently hardware profile is this.

Intel Server Board SE7230NH1-E (VT Enabled Motherboard)
Intel Pentium D 830 CPU (3Ghz x 2 CPU)
2 GB RAM OCZ @667Mhz
Adaptec 19160 SCSI Adapter (Based on AIC-7892).

The Sarge unstable works fine, no errors and goes up fine.
when i boot to xen dom0, the boot process as fail with the panic i''ll
describe before.

Some body could bring me a hand to fix this problem.

Thanks a lot.

Edgar Díaz.
Xen newbie

Rough steps:
Get the right settings in .config (SCSI adapters, and particularly the Adaptec
one you''ve got) in your "<xenroot>/linux-2.6.16.13-xen"
- using "make menuconfig" is one way to achieve this.

Go to the <xenroot> and do "make dist". 

If you''re using the same machine to develop and run Xen, do "make
install", otherwise copy the contents of the
"<xenroot>/dist" directory to the target machine and run
"install.sh" from this directory.

Once you have installed Xen and xenified linux kernel, do "depmod
2.6.16.13-xen" and "mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.16.13-xen
2.6.16.13-xen"

And of course make sure you have the initrd as a module in your
grub.conf/menu.lst file.

That should do it - if not, please let me know what step you get which error
message...
