Hi all, I''m trying to boot a dom0 with an image that I compiled from source but it''s failing to mount the root device. I can boot Xen (the hipervisor) and it starts booting the dom0 just fine. Something happens at the point where dom0 should mount the root device. It shows me that I should append the right root device and the kernel "panics". When I''m issuing rdev /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen, it''s showing me not a /dev/sdaX or /dev/hdaX, it''s showing me a number like 0x6801. I''m really passing the right root device to the kernel in the grub command line and I''m not using an initrd. Thanks.

Most distros require initrd. If you''ve successfully compile your own normal, non-xen, linux kernel, and use it to boot without initrd on that box, then the requirements will be similar. Another possibility is that you use xen.org''s 2.6.18 kernel, but your hardware requires newer drivers not present on that version. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
