TNX Tim! I try to create a initrd like this command: mkinitrd -v -f
--with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod -o initrd-2.6.18-xen.img -m
2.6.18-xen Now seems to be XEN start but after memory message and little
count down I received another error about "/etc/fstab file not found"
and "no /sbin/init found on rootdev (or not mouted!)". I
can''t past
precise error because xen reboot system...argh...I think that initrd is
bad builded!! You have any idea? initrd bad sure....How I can create one
correctly? You think that I can use a prebuilded kernel? TNX again for
you help! Best Regards Tim Post wrote:
