Hi, I probably just have a simple problem. I installed a standard Debian Sarge with a 2.4.27 Kernel. Running this it correctly finds my IDE Controller (Promise Ultra 100 TX2) and gives the HD the device name hde. Using the standard Xen Kernel (2.6.12) it can not find the hard drive anymore! I am not so familiar with kernel issues, so i would be pleased if someone could help me where to start! Thanks, Mat _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

If you know which driver your hardware uses (try doing lsmod in native linux to find it), go into your Xen source tree, cd into linux-2.6.12-xen, then do a "make ARCH=xen menuconfig". Find the driver and turn it on, then cd .. and do a "make KERNELS=linux-2.6-xen kernels" to recompile it. Install the recompiled kernel and you should be good to go. You can try to compile it as a module instead, but then you will need an initrd so the module is available before root is mounted. It is much less effort to just compile it into the kernel.
