Xen users - Apr 2011 - XEN 4.1 install & Waiting for root file system... ...

Hi everyone

I''m having some troubles trying to install XEN 4.1 on my system(s).
when booting with the hypervisor the dom0 can''t find the root disk and
i get
dropped to then initramfs shell.

Arguments are the same as without xen hypervisor, this used to work on 3.4

I compiled the source using
$ make world KERNELS="linux-2.6-pvops"
$ make install KERNELS="linux-2.6-pvops"

and then I added the entry to grub.cfg as following:

menuentry "Xen 4.1 / linux kernel 2.6.32.36" {
insmod ext2
set root=''(hd0,1)''
multiboot /xen.gz dom0_mem=1024M loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all
module /vmlinuz-2.6.32.36 root=/dev/mapper/dom0-root ro console=tty0
module /initrd.img-2.6.32.36
}

any pointers?

thanks in advance!
- Peter

My first guess is either your storage driver (ahci?) and/or the lvm 
modules are missing from the initrd. To verify this boot into your 
working non-xen Linux and unpack both the initrd for the working kernel 
and the new initrd and compare the /lib/modules directories.
