All,

I was wondering what distributions of linux are supported inside Xen. I built the Xen kernel image on my Red Hat Enterprise 3 machine, and then specify the menu.conf entry as:
title Xen
kernel xen.gz dom0_mem=128000
module vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 root=/dev/sda6 ro console=tty0

When I boot this image, I get an error like
unable to mount root sda6

Ithe Red Hat Enterprise3 image however mounts it perfectly fine.

My machine is dell pe1800 dual processor (server class). i hope Xen is not just confined to desktops, because it wrked fine on a debian desktop.

Arijit
