I download xen-2.0-src.tgz, follow the steps from the Xen user's manual, and got a new kernel that i put in my machine. I have made a reboot and every thing goes well. Then i have try to configure a new domain like this in /etc/xen/xmdefconfig kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-xenU" disk = [ 'phy:hda5,xda5,r' ] root = "/dev/xda5 ro" then i run "xm create -c vmid=1" and i'm getting this kernel panic VFS: Cannot open root device "xda5" or unknown-block(2,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0) Someone can point me what i'm doing wrong ? I'm using Scientific Linux CERN release 3.0.2 (SL), this distribution is based on Redhat Enterprise 3.
