Hi,

For two weeks I am trying to instal xen 2.0.6 on my machine(see below details for my hardware),
but I can't boot xen: follow the error:

RAMDISK: ext2 filesystem found at block 0
RAMDISK: image too big! (8000Kib/4096 Kib)
ROOT-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up

Searching on list I found what the sata driver must be compiled into kernel, I try to do a custom
XenLinux build, but doesn't work too.
I follow this steps:

3742  tar -zxvf /mnt/cvs/yoper/SOURCES/xen-2.0.6-src.tgz
 3743  cd xen-2.0/
 3744  ls -l
 3745  rm -Rf freebsd-5.3-xen-sparse linux-2.4.30-xen-sparse netbsd-2.0-xen-sparse
 3746  ls -l
 3747  mv ../linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2 .
 3748  ls -l
 3749  make world
 3750  cd linux-2.6.11-xen0/
 3751  make ARCH=xen menuconfig
 3752  make ARCH=xen all
 3753  cd ..
 3754  make

On make ARCH=xen menuconfig seems there are few driver options to configure.
What I am doing wrong?
