Xen users - Jul 2006 - xen-3.0: kernel panic unable to mount VFS at root=/dev/hdb6

Hi, 

I am a xen-newbee and want to get it runnig with an SUSE-9.3-Linux, where  / is
on /dev/hdb6.
In GRUB-menulist, I added the root=/dev/hdb6 Option, but the Xen-Kernl prompts
that a correct "Root="-option has to be set an shuts down immediately.


Has anybody an idea what is wrong?

Kind regards,

Michael.

(At the moment i''m downloading the Demo-CD-iso to get familiar with
Xen, but i would prefer a proper installation)

You need to build an initrd/initramfs for the xen''ified kerel.
and then add it to your grub stanza.

Something like:
# cd /boot
# mkinitrd -o initrd.img-2.6.16-xen 2.6.16-xen
----
title Xen 3.0.2 / XenLinux 2.6.16
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 
module /vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen root=/dev/hdb6 ro 
module /initrd.img-2.6.16-xen

Yours Tony
