Hello, I have a gentoo box running xen 2.0.3 which is unable to boot the ttylinux image from sourceforge. I compiled xen, xen0, and xenU from sources. I have attempted to boot the xenU kernel with / in a file and a logical volume and get the same message either way. error message: VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(8,1) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1) config file passed to "xm create ...": kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xenU" memory = 64 name = "ttylinux" nics = 1 #disk = [ ''phy:hdX_vg/ttylinux_lv,sda1,w'' ] disk = [ ''file:/root/ttylinux-xen,sda1,w'' ] root = "/dev/sda1 ro" restart = "never" -- karl@packettrap.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

Re: [Xen-devel] ttylinux unable to mount root fs on gentoo
Interesting... Does /dev/sda1 exist in dom0? (I''m guessing not as you''ll be using udev or devfs). What happens if you specify 0801 instead of /dev/sda1 in your config file?

Re: [Xen-devel] ttylinux unable to mount root fs on gentoo
Yes, /dev/sda1 does exist in dom0: l500r root # ls -l /dev/sda1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Oct 23 23:28 /dev/sda1 l500r root # This box was setup as a "tweaked" udev box per the instructions in sections 1 and 2 of: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml It seems that the gentoo init scripts detect this configuration and construct a set of devices early in the boot then start udevd (still running). Using 0801 instead of /dev/sda1 yields the following for both the file and lvm disk: VFS: Cannot open root device "0801" or unknown-block(8,1) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1) -- karl@packettrap.org On Saturday 29 January 2005 07:41, Mark Williamson wrote:> Interesting... > > Does /dev/sda1 exist in dom0?

However as mentioned the real problem is probably: File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/xen/xend/server/blkif.py", line 335,>in configure > raise VmError(''vbd: Device not found: %s'' % self.dev) >VmError: vbd: Device not found: sda1Looks like there is no /dev/sda1 in domain0, which is odd since you previously mentioned there was. Mark''s potential fix (i.e. use 0801 in place of sda1 in the ''disk=['' line in the config) is probably worth a try. cheers, S. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
