First off, you need to let us know what version of Xen you're
using.
Is your root file system actually on /dev/hda1?
Does the kernel appear to be mounting it OK before failing to
find /sbin/init ?

The only additional thing you may need to do is to edit
/etc/fstab to replace LABEL= lines with the actual /dev/XXX
device.

Hello,
I tried to install Xen as per instructions from README.CD of Xen demo =
cd, but am unable to boot Xen and get message "Kernel panic : No init =
found. Try passing init=3D option to kernel". Any help will be =
appreciated..
My steps were following
1) Installed Red Hat Enterprise AS 3.0 Update 2(RH)
2) Copied xen.gz and xenolinux.gz from demo cd/boot to /boot of RH=20
3) Modified grub.conf and added following lines. Note that the path is =
relative to /boot
title Xen
kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=3D131072 ser_baud=3D115200 noht noreboot
module /xenolinux.gz root=3D/dev/hda1 ro console=3Dtty0
4) Rebooted the machine and selected Xen from the Grub menu. At this =
point the machine seems to go through some sequence and eventually a =
message is displayed "Kernel panic : No init found. Try passing init=3D =
option to kernel". From this point nothing else happens and Xen does =
not boot.
I also downloaded binary build from nightly snapshots ( =
xeno-1.2-install.tgz ) and then used xen.gz and xenolinux.gz from the =
download, but no luck.
As I am not experienced with kernel etc., not sure if I'm missing =
something or I must build from the source. Right now I am just trying =
to get feel about Xen and so rather avoid building source. Any help =
will be greatly appreciated.
