hi, i''ve been having some problems getting xen 3.0.2 to boot a child domain. i installed xen using the sid packages for debian, and everything seems fine. when i boot up xend is running and i can do a xm list and it show''s dom0 running. i have 3 scsi drives in this machine, the / for dom0 is /dev/sdb1 and it''s using all 36 gigs of that drive. i wanted to use all of /dev/sda for my first domU. i have made a primary partition on /dev/sda (/dev/sda1) that uses all of this drive. i then formated it with ext3. i''m using the jailtime debian img, for my domU. i copied the contents of the .img to the partition (/dev/sda1) and then tried to boot that domU. here''s the xm create script i''m using ----------------------------- kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-xen-686" memory = 256 name = "vm1" disk = [''phy:/dev/sda1,sda1,w'', ''file:/xen/vm1.swap,sda2,w''] root = "/dev/sda1 ro" ------------------------------ when i try to boot it up i get this error. "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)" i saw the other post on this, but the user didn''t post what had fixed it. any help would be appreciated, please ask me any questions, i may have forgotten some info.

If not, you have to make an initrd. Henning _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I have been side tracked installing the latest release of Gnucash. Anyway my problem remains unresolved. My jailtime.org image will not boot. I am planning to run the (Xen)mkinitrd script again with ext3 support.
