Thread-topic: can't mount root... devfs???
Domain1 is now not booting anymore, and the boot console tells me it's because it can't mount /dev/sda7.
 
My config files says sda7 maps to /dev/sda7 eg:
 
disk = [ 'phy:sda7,sda7,w' ]
root = "/dev/sda7 ro"
 
My only thought is that maybe devfs is confusing the issue... eg there are no scsi devices so sda7 doesn't appear in /dev.
 
Can anyone confirm/deny this?
 
thanks
