OOOOOH! I just went back and checked all of "SCSI device support" recursively, and found: gentoo: <*> SCSI disk support xen: <M> SCSI disk support If this works, I will laugh heartily: If sata is compiled in, and it relies on the SCSI module, it might as well be a module itself :P I wonder if there''s supposed to be dependency checking for that sort of thing. ##other notes## the xen menuconfig has PCMCIA SCSI adapter support ---> as a separate menu. Wonder why that is. For some reason, make (and modules_install) gives some errors about uart_get_baud_rate and other uart_ related errors for 8250.ko but I don''t think that would affect sata. Also: # mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.16.26-xen0.img 2.6.16.26-xen All of your loopback devices are in use. I will take a look at my current config. I have a habit of forgetting to include the loopback driver in my configs. If anyone solves this problem without the use of an initrd, please email back to the list with the solution. Thanks. I will email back if this actually works. /me goes off to reboot.> I just tried this, but unfortunately it didn''t make a difference (and > ata_piix does appear to be the SATA driver for my Intel ICH6 SATA > controller.)

Now to work out how to get the network up, and into X. Wish me luck. (Don''t ask me why I''m not simply using QEMU/vmware, because I honestly couldn''t tell you :P ) _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

(Don''t ask me why I''m not simply using QEMU/vmware, because I > honestly couldn''t tell you :P )For me, Vmware never went out of their way for Linux users. It was Suse fans that helped people update modules, and (the unsung developer of vmware-any-any-update) and provide the technical support to keep Vmware running on Suse 9.2 through to 10.1. I would have been lost without them. Also, some years ago Vmware dropped their single user lisence in favour of a more expensive one. Back then they did not have much competition. Now they seem to be falling over themselves to stay ahead of the pack. I welcome Xen. The opportunity to have virtualization on an Open Source platform is something I look forward to. It may take some time to develope a comparable product. In the meantime we can make a smoother transition from Vmware by learning how Xen operates and becoming strong in its inner workings.
