Hi, I''ve installed xen-2.0.5 from source on gentoo, but the xen dom0 kernel doesn''t find the root device: ############################# snip ###################################### Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (3,3) ############################# snap ###################################### grub.conf: ############################# snip

I''ve seen this happen before, not sure why. I changed ''phy:'' to ''file:'' and it worked. I later rebooted and ''phy:'' worked again. So you might try ''file:'' rather than ''phy:''. -- Ray -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com

To test CentOS 5, I loaded from DVD adding it to a system at home running Fedora Core 7 T2. Partition Layout is: /dev/hda1 - / for the RH7T2 system /dev/hda2 - /home /dev/hda3 - swap /dev/hda4 - extended /dev/hda5 - / for CentOS 5 The system loaded cleanly and gave me the opportunity to tell grub about the other system. CentOS boots fine. Grub Stage 2 will show me both systems.

Hi: Any hints/pointers welcome. I am very new to Xen, I have a AMD "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+" based system on which I am running X86_64 Fedora Core 8. I have installed Xen-3.1 on it, but I can''t get Xen to boot. It seems unable to find the root volume, the kernel panics and reboots immediately so I can''t capture or write down anything and I

I have been trying to multiboot centos 4.1 and the current solaris express build 15. I have two hard drive s, the first one ( hd0 ) devoted to CentOS 4.1 and windows xp (no problems). The second drive (hd1) for Solaris 10 only. I tried to boot solaris from CentOS grub and got the following error messages: Booting Solaris 10 root(hd1,0) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0Xbf kernel

HI all, I had centos on a laptop (dual boot xp). I am giving the laptop to another person so I removed centos. Now when I reboot grub is confused... I tried to manually enter rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 boot This does boot into XP but how do I tell grub that this is the new rules and do this everytime at boot. Thanks, Jerry

I installed C 6.0 in an empty partition. It functioned. Despite using the usually successful methods of booting into another operating system from C 5.7, I can't get into C 6.0 Tried:- title C6-0 (2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64) rootnoverify (hd0,6) chainloader +1 and root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=67c62872-0c69-451c-8412-3c218c0d2cb0 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM

I''ve compiled xen-3.0.2-2 from sources. I''ve went to the end without errors. The ./install.sh script have been created the /etc/grub.conf file as it : # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hdc default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5) root (hd0,0) kernel

The following boot entries: # COM32 chain.c32 APPEND fs ntldr=/bootmgr # or: # COM32 chain.c32 APPEND hd0,1 ntldr=/bootmgr # might result in the following error: # Insane primary (MBR) partition.

Hello everybody, I installed Centos 6.2 on a computer with an older version of it in order to dual boot both of them. I managed to install the new OS on a physically seperated hard drive, and configured grub to make the newly installed OS the default one. Now the older OS won't boot and this error message shows: *"error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format"*. I attached

I installed CentOS 7 on a Shuttle X27D box (dual-core Atom 330), and so far it seems to work fine, but it didn't set up a Grub2 entry for the existing Windows XP installation in the first partition (MBR). Running os-prober generates no output. fdisk shows that the NTFS partition is still present as /dev/sda1, and still has the bootable flag set. I added a menuentry for Windows to the end of

I decided to install Win2K on my "retrogaming/htpc" system to take advantage of the dual processors in the thing when I'm multitasking a lot, but, it's kind of annoying having to use first one bootloader to chainload my Windows 98 partition, then, via NTLDR, selection Windows 2000 to get to Win2k. I tried using the recovery console to try to force it to write a boot sector to

I have a laptop with windows 10. I went into the Windows disk manager and shrunk the volume to make room for C7. That worked. I also changed the BIOS from secure boot to "both" (secure/legacy) I installed C7, went fine. About the time it was done I realized I never saw anything about "other" boot options (seems I saw that in the past). Anyway sure enough, got done and C7

Allow the grub loader to (optionally) support using a GRUB menu file. For example chain fs grub=stage2,grub.conf will load GRUB's stage2 and pass the (absolute) path to the file "grub.conf" in the Syslinux filesystem to GRUB's stage2. The path is passed to stage2 in GRUB's device/partition syntax (eg, "(hd0,1)/foo"). Note that we don't check whether the
