Re: booting erro on FC3

[Don Fry <brazilnut@us.ibm.com>]

I had the same problem on my FC3 system this morning.

The base FC3 system has ata_piix built as a module so it is added to
/etc/modprobe.conf.  When Xen builds it is compiled into the kernel.
By removing the ata_piix from (or commenting it out of) modprobe.conf
you can then successfully create the initrd file and boot.

That change also allowed me to build the initrd file for xenU.
