Xen 3.1 on Fedora8

Xen 3.1 on Fedora8

Hi men,

I compiled Xen 3.1 and installed it on Fedora 8. But when booting, it fails:

=====
Mounting root fielsystem.
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
Setting up other filesystems.
..
..
Booting has failed.
=====

I have compiled and installed Xen 3.3.0 on Fedora 8 successfully. And I did
the same with Xen 3.1. Anybody who has installed Xen 3.1 on Fedora 8?

A little problem: in the README, it seems Xen uses linux 2.6.16 as Dom0 
kernel (grub menulist) .
However, when compiling, it downloads 2.6.18 automatic, like Xen 3.3.0.
Is this a bug?

Thanks,
Wu

Hi Hui,

Thanks for the reply. 
Are you sure about that: Xen 3.1 maynot work for Fedora 8,
or you just guess?

I use Xen 3.3.0, and downloaded it from Xen's official site.

Regards,
Wu

A version of 3.1 does work on Fedora 8 because that is the version that a 
fully updated Fedora 8 xen package would be (it is still available to 
download via 
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/updates/8/ if 
yum doesn't find it).
