I had to add hda=16383,16,63 as a kernel parameter in my grub configuration. I tried adding the same parameter to my Xen boot entry, but without any success. # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst default 0 timeout 10 title=Xen 1.3 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 com1=115200,8n1 module /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.26-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro hda=16383,16,63 title=Slackware 10.0 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ro hda=16383,16,63 Thanks, Fredrik ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
