[Xen-users] Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0, 0) -- RHEL 5
Whenever I try to boot a client I get: VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0) My disk image looks like this: drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 8 14:12 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Jun 8 14:14 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 8 15:31 dev drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 8 14:13 etc drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Jun 8 14:01 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jun 8 14:02 var I have an etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 I''m not sure I made the sda1 node correctly: MAKEDEV -d /mnt/dev -x sda1 xend.log says: [2007-06-08 15:55:53 xend 2081] DEBUG (blkif:24) exception looking up device number for sda1: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''/dev/sda1'' Can someone tell me how to create /dev/sd1 properly? Is there any good documentation anywhere on setting this up? Thanks, Steve -- Steven J.
