hi, I''m trying to get xen running in ubuntu edgy following the wiki guide at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenOnEdgy . The current ubuntu packages use a 2.6.17 kernel base with xen 3.0.0-rc1 sources. I''m having trouble booting the hypervisor kernel; boot process hangs on "Begin: waiting for root filesystem", followed by a bunch of harmless looking messages about USB, but no further progress is made. I''ve tried appending various "root=" boot parameters (root=/dev/sda5 and root=UUID=2ef5a2dd-1703-47cf-87ae-36a8645c15c8 , the latter being the assignment given to all my automagic entries by grub itself); none of them makes any difference. Has anyone else seen this behaviour and/or does anyone have any solutions? thanks, matt _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
