Its the one that says I must supply a valid "root=" option. (sorry I don't have it verbatim.) I'm using the xen-2.0 binary installer, kernel 2.6.9. I am using ext3fs, but I am fairly certain that I have compiled support into the kernel. (I've tired compile xen from the 2.0 and nighltly source too :-). I've tired Keir's suggestions but to no avail... I'm fairly new to linux, but not to unix. I'm just don't know what to try next. Suggestions? Here's my setup: Device Boot /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdc2 FreeBSD /dev/hdc3 FC3 Boot (ext3fs) /dev/hdc4 Extended /dev/hdc5 FC3 Root (ext3fs) /dev/hdc6 FC 3 swap I've also got other partitions.
