I''m running into problems setting up Slackware 11.0 as Dom0, the Xen kernel won''t boot. The install scripts are run without any problems, and this is what I end up with in /boot: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2006-11-25 19:50 README.initrd -> /usr/doc/mkinitrd-1.0.1/README.initrd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2006-11-26 11:24 System.map -> System.map-generic-2.6.17.13 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 740K 2006-11-26 10:18 System.map-2.6.16.29-xen -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 695K 2006-09-09 07:14 System.map-generic-2.6.17.13 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 2006-11-25 20:05 boot.0300 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 168 2006-11-25 20:05 boot_message.txt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2006-11-26 11:24 config -> config-generic-2.6.17.13 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60K 2006-11-26 10:18 config-2.6.16.29-xen -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 62K 2006-09-09 07:14 config-generic-2.6.17.13 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K 2006-11-26 13:05 grub/ -rw------- 1 root root 28K 2006-11-25 20:05 map -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0M 2006-11-26 10:18 vmlinux-syms-2.6.16.29-xen lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2006-11-26 11:24 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-generic-2.6.17.13 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2006-11-26 19:14 vmlinuz-2.6-xen -> vmlinuz-2.6.16.29-xen lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2006-11-26 19:14 vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen -> vmlinuz-2.6.16.29-xen -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.5M 2006-11-26 10:18 vmlinuz-2.6.16.29-xen -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.7M 2006-09-09 07:14 vmlinuz-generic-2.6.17.13 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 234K 2006-11-26 10:18 xen-3.0.3-0.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2006-11-26 19:14 xen-3.0.gz -> xen-3.0.3-0.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2006-11-26 19:14 xen-3.gz -> xen-3.0.3-0.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.5M 2006-11-26 10:18 xen-syms-3.0.3-0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2006-11-26 19:14 xen.gz -> xen-3.0.3-0.gz I''ve modified /boot/grub/menu.lst: default 0 timeout 15 color light-gray/blue black/light-gray title Slackware 11.0 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ro vga=773 title Slackware 11.0 (Xen) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/xen.gz noreboot module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen root=/dev/hda1 ro And finally the whole system rests on /dev/hda1 using ext3, with /dev/hda2 being swap. When I try to boot the system using the Xen kernel, it fails to mount the root fs with the following error: VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) This is using the default kernel, which has ext2 support, so it should have been able to mount the root fs. I''ve also tried building an inird with the ext3 module and building a custom Xen kernel with ext3 support built in, after running out of ideas. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
