Re: [Xen-users] Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.

[Wylie Swanson <wylie.swanson@xxxxxxxxx>]

All of the necessary modules (I believe) have been compiled statically
into the kernel.  This is the same root entry that I have used in the
past (and was able to make work successfully once).  However, I have
also used the initrd just to be sure.  When doing so, this is the
message I get:

RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0
RAMDISK: Loading 1012KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... done.
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[system reboots if noreboot not set]
