I made a install of XEN but after booting into xen, it reboots sometime later, without an information. does anyone know what to do.

Hello Tulasi, I think the problem is not the SATA driver, but that you are running on a RAID (md2). As seen in your non-Xen booting, you are using a initrd, so you also need to create and use one for your xen boot. For Xen 3.0.2 it works this way: depmod 2.6.16-xen mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16.xen 2.6.16-xen In menu.lst: title Xen 3.0.2 / XenLinux 2.6.16 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/xen-3.0.2.gz dom0_mem=262144 module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen root=/dev/md2 ro console=tty0 module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-xen savedefault boot Seneca T> non of the kernels seems to understand my nVidia Sata controller: T> Cannot open root device "md2" or unknown block(0,0) T> please append a correct "root=" boot option T> kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on T> unknown-block(0,0) T> here is my grub conf.

It could be that the md driver is compiled as a module, in which case you need to create a initrd image. Since your using raid1, you should be able to boot from one of the disks that make up the raid volume. If /dev/md2 is composed of /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 (example), then change the argumentline to root=/dev/sda2 If you can boot with root=/dev/sda2 then it''s not a controller problem.

Hello Tulasi,
I see a misspeling in my suggestion, once it is
initrd.img-2.6.16-xen
and once
initrd.img-2.6.16.xen
It must be exactly the same of cause, otherwise the file will not be
found by grub.
T> mdadm: error opening /devfs/md/1: No such file or directory
T> mdadm: error opening /devfs/md/2: No such file or directory
Now this looks really odd. Could you post your /etc/fstab file,
the current menu.lst and a dir of /boot ?

I cant see anything wrong in the setup, and since it boots without problems with your ubuntu 2.6.12 kernel it *should* also work with the xen 2.6.16. There have been discussions about similar problems and possible solutions in the thread below: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25938 Btw. did you install the precompiled xen 3.0.2 distribution or did you compile it from source?
