[Xen-users] Problem booting up Xen 3.3.0 on Kubuntu 8.04.1
Hello All,
I am facing problems in booting up Xen on Kubuntu 8.04.1
Booting crashes giving message "ALERT! does not exist. Dropping to a shell
!"
Last couple of lines are,
*
sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb
sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0
Done.
Check root=bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
ALERT! does not exist. Dropping to a shell !
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built-in shell (ash)*
I followed the procedure given on
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2008-01/msg00700.html to
install Xen
1. Created a "xen/build" directory on Desktop
2. Extracted xen-3.3.0.tar.gz in this folder
3. hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg (At the same
level as that of xen-3.3.0)
4. cd xen-3.3.0
5. make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig
6. cp /boot/config-2.6.18-xen build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_64/.config
7. make linux-2.6-xen-build
8. make install
9. cd /boot
10. mkinitramfs -o initramfs.img-2.6.18-xen 2.6.18-xen
11. added a grub entry for xen in menu.lst
*# This entry has been manually added for xen*
*title Xen 3.3 / XenLinux 2.6
root ()/ubuntu/disks
kernel /boot/xen-3.3.0.gz root=UUID=C4A2BD12A2BD09C6
loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen
module /boot/initramfs.img-2.6.18-xen
*12. reboot
And then I choose Xen 3.3 / XenLinux 2.6* *option during booting. It starts
booting and ultimately crashes throwing the message "ALERT! does not exist.
Dropping to a shell !".
If I execute cat /proc/cmdline, it gives nothing.
If I execute cat /proc/modules or ls /dev, it lists some devices. (I can
give this list if you think that is important.)
I have attached the menu.lst with this mail for reference.
Can anybody help me solving this problem? It is very important.
Thanks in advance.

Re: [Xen-users] Problem booting up Xen 3.3.0 on Kubuntu 8.04.1
May Kubuntu 8.04.1 be replaced by Ubuntu 8.04.1 ?
Intrepid Xen 3.3 Hypervisor may be just back ported to Hardy Dom0 via Synaptic
Manager, keeping native xenified kernel in place. Would it be acceptable ?

Re: [Xen-users] Problem booting up Xen 3.3.0 on Kubuntu 8.04.1
Do you mean that Xen can not be installed on Kubuntu 8.04? Where can I get the list of OSs Xen can be installed on? I do not understand what you men mean by "Intrepid Xen 3.3 Hypervisor may be just back ported to Hardy Dom0 via Synaptic Manager, keeping native xenified kernel in place. Would it be acceptable ?" Could you please explain this?
