Hello iam trying to build Xen. I downloaded xen unstable tar ball and compiled it. I used mk_initrd and created the initird. I booted my newly built Xen but booting stops with the following messages and keyboard doesn''t work. Can you give me pointers to solving this? waiting for device /dev/sda7 to appear............not found exiting to /bin/sh $ Regards, Pradeep _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Does your initrd contain all drivers needed (maybe scsi, raid-drivers, file- systemdrivers) to be able to use the root-partition?

INITRD_MODULES="ata_piix processor thermal fan jbd ext3 edd uhci_hcd ehci_hcd usbhid usbcore" DOMU_INITRD_MODULES="xennet xenblk" But after giving mkinitrd it is showing as below cannot find dependecies for edd cannot find dependecies for xennet cannot find dependecies for xenblk regards pradeep _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

(find /lib/modules -name "xennet*"). I''m quite sure they are compiled into the kernel in the unstable release (not as a module). You can also look for that in the kernel .config file in your source-tree. Do you have access to the guests fstab? Make sure sda7 is the GUESTs root directory. If it is, try to put extra='' root=/dev/sda7'' into your config file. I''m pretty sure though that sda7 is not the GUESTs root device.
