I have installed xen-2.0.3 binary release over Fedora Core 3 2.6.9. Xen boots, and XenLinux seems to start, but it can't find the root partition, eventually failing looking for an NFS root. My root file system is on a logical volume: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 from the straight Fedora boot. So, the xen version is: module /vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 ro console=tty0 Do I have to do anything special to use the logical volume? Or am I barking up completely the wrong tree. Thanks for any help Roland ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
