Xen devel - Mar 2005 - Configure Xen in Mandrake 10.2 cooker

Good morning all.

I don''t know if this is the right place to post, but I can''t
find any info
about my problem on the net.

I Installed Xen 2.0.5 with bin installer into my Mandrake Box (10.2 coker). 
Following the documentation, I installed grub (Mandarke comes usually with 
Lilo) and I wrote those lines in menu.lst:

title Xen2610
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 console=vga
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 root=/dev/hde1 ro console=tty0

But Xen kernel doesn''t start. Every time I try to boot I get this error
(I
take a screenshot of my monitor with a digital camera, because my boot.log 
doesn''t record anything when I boot with Xen kernel):

Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up
VFS: Unable to mount root FS via NFS, trying floppy
VFS: Insert root floppy and press enter.

After [enter] (I don''t have any root floppy) I get:

VFS: Cannot open root device "hde1" or unknown-block(2,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)


This is a standard mandrake entry in grub:

title 2611-2
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-2mdk root=/dev/hde1 devfs=nomount acpi=ht 
splash=silent vga=788
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.6.11-2mdk.img


What''s going wrong?

TIA.

Davide.

Yes, this is the right place.

Looks fine.

Sounds to me like the kernel is not detecting your hard drive device at boot 
time.  I''m moderately surprised it''s not detecting it at all -
what hardware
are you running on?

Can you please send the output of dmesg under your working Linux kernel?

Cheers,
Mark
