[Xen-users] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8, 1)
I have sucessfully installed xen domain 0 on a Debian system and have
created a virtual disk in it''s filesystem and used debbootstrap to
install debain on it. In the config file for the virtual machine I
have:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.9-xenU"
disk = [ ''file:/usr/local/xen/images/debian_01,sda1,w'',
''file:/usr/local/xen/images/debian_01-swap,sda2,w'' ]
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
the filesystem for /usr/local/xen/images/debian_01 is xfs and I have
already been able to mount it. xfs support is in the xen kernel.
when running xm create -c debian_01-1 vmid=1 it fails with the
following:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)

Sorry for not getting to this sooner. Have you found a solution yet? Do you have DevFS support in the domU kernel? If so, that won''t work - you need static /dev nodes (or udev) in a domU.
