Ive tested a cuple of filesystems in a file (ext3 or xfs formatted) and Ive also tried the ttylinux-xen image. But I always get this error: VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(3,1) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,1) The config is the same as in the example: kernel = "/uml/linux-2.6.9-xenU" memory = 64 name = "ttylinux" nics = 1 disk = [ 'file:/uml/ttylinux-xen,hda1,w' ] root = "/dev/hda1 ro" Ive also tried sda1 instead of hda1, or hexadecimal. Ans I also tested different versions, xen 2.0.1 and 2.0-testing, with a stock Linux kernel, and the prepatched Gentoo-dev-2.6.9 Version. I compiled with and without 4k stacks, but always the same :-( Ive no ideas what else I could try, can somebody give me an hint please?
