Mea culpa. One thing I had to do was to change the /etc/fstab on the xenU partition (hdc1 in my machine): /dev/sda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1 <----------- I had the original /dev/hdc1 here to match the xen config file: disk = [ 'phy:hdc1,0801,w' ] < ---- This suggestion you gave to use '0801' and 'sda1' works for some reason. Using 'hdc1' here and on the root = /dev/ line does NOT work, as you were aware. root = "/dev/sda1 ro" I need to have an initrd in order to have a console. It will not work without it: # Kernel image file. kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-xenU" # Optional ramdisk. ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.9-xenU.img" Thanks for all your suggestions!
