Hi, I compiled Xen-3.1 from its source. While booting the Xen kernel, following error message is generated: ..... ..... No filesystem could mount root - tried ext2 kernel panic VFS not syncing unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0) My root partition has ext3 file system. But the above error message says it is trying to mount ext2. Why is it so? Can anybody give pointers to deal with this error. Thanks & Regards Ashutosh _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I assume, that the driver modules are missing, in the ramdisk. cu denny -- Stoppt den Überwachungswahn - Stoppt den Schäuble Katalog: http://www.nopsis.de _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
hi, If your initrd fails try this removing anything you know you don''t need. It got me round an issue with slackware11.0 and 12.0. mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.18-xen -m jbd:ext3:ide-cd:ide-disk:ide-generic:libata -f ext3 -r /dev/hda1 Regards Geoff.

Hi, I am using initrd v1.201 and it says -m option is to set the command to make an initrd image. Moreover, -f option is not supported.

hi, atlast i was able to compile and boot xen from its source. This time I used update-initramfs instead of mkinitrd to create ramdisk. Anyways, thanx for ur help.
