Re: [Xen-devel] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0, 0)

[Grzegorz Milos <gm281@xxxxxxxxx>]

You will need ext3 support compiled into vmlinuz-2.6-xen kernel. I  
suspect it's compiled as a module. Make sure that your kernel  
configuration file says:
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y
recompile, copy the kernel and try again. Does it help?

Cheers
