Xen users - Nov 2005 - Problem with Mylex DAC960

Hello,
 
my problem is that after installing Xen and configuring menu.lst the new
Xen-Kernel doesn''t start.
I''m getting a message that the Kernel can''t find the root
partition.
 
I''m using the XenLinux 2.6.11 kernel
my menu.lst entry looks like this
 
    tilte Xen 2.0 / XenLinux 2.6.11
        kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=64000
        module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-xen0 root=/dev/rd/c0d0p1 ro
console=tty0
 
My hardware configuration looks like this
 
 2x P3 700MHz CPUs
 512 MB-RAM
 Mylex DAC960 RAID-Controller
 
and I''ve installed Debian Sarge. The root device points on the right
partition on the right disk.
 
Regards Konstantin

You''ll need to make sure your xen-linux dom0 kernel has the dac960
module compiled into the kernel, or available in an initial ram disk.
Linux probably can''t find the root filesystem because the dac960 driver
isn''t being loaded correctly.
