Hello to all!
I was active here few month ago when I was playing with xeno-1.0 and was very
happy with it. Now I managed to find some time and one solid machine to try
to make some xeno-1.2 production tests.
Server is HP tc2120 with aic7xxx SCSI controller.
I have cloned xeno-1.2, built it and installed it to a working installation.
But xenolinux fails to boot ending with:
root_device_name = sda3
kmod: failed to exec .... block-major-8, errno = 2
VFS: Cannot opet root device "sda3" or 08:03
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
However, when booted to standard linux kernel the setup is: (see below)
So, are there any issues with this SCSI controller or disks in general?

However, if ti means anything, Xen detects SCSI controller and all attached disks correctly. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.

Unless you''re really sure what you''re doing you should not change any configuration options under that menu (I think all other menus are safe to fiddle with though). What''s happened is that the RTC driver has tried to allocate the ''real'' IRQ 8. This doesn''t exist in Xenolinux, but it is preventing the block-device driver from allocating virtual IRQ 8 -- so you are not properly installing the virtual block-device driver. Recompile with the default settings under "character devices". -- Keir ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
