I compiled xen, xen0, and xenU from sources. I have attempted to boot the xenU kernel with / in a file and a logical volume and get the same message either way. error message: VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(8,1) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1) config file passed to "xm create ...": kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xenU" memory = 64 name = "ttylinux" nics = 1 #disk = [ 'phy:hdX_vg/ttylinux_lv,sda1,w' ] disk = [ 'file:/root/ttylinux-xen,sda1,w' ] root = "/dev/sda1 ro" restart = "never" -- karl@packettrap.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
