[Xen-users] Running kernel.org "mainline" Linux on Xen: FAILED
Hi, I compiled kernel.org 2.6.25.14 kernel on Fedora 10 with all necessary Xen options enabled. After successful process of compilation command *file* gave me this result: file /boot/* /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.PAE: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x902, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.14: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA We can see that in comparison to original Fedora 10 kernel, *root_dev 0x902*is missing from the vmlinuz. I checked all other relevant parameters and everything else seems fine. Does anybody know how to get normal Xen enabled kernel? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi, Thanks for advice, but I''m still trying to figure out how to resolve this problem. Rdev command gives: rdev /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.14 Root device 0xca01 then, I''m wondering why this output is not included in the *file* command line? Rdev is trying to set root device to be something like /dev/... . I still can not manage to set root_dev value to be 0x902 as in the case of Fedora 10 kernel?
