Re: [Xen-users] Boot problem with a "scsi" disk
Hi Grabriele,

Hello.
I would like to use Xen (or, at least, to see how it works) but I cannot boot
it. I have an old laptop with a USB 1.0 and a pcmcia card with 2 USB2.0 ports
on it, and a SuSE 9.3 I cannot delete my windows from the primary hd, so I
have the /boot on
it (/dev/hda2) and the root on the external hard disk (/dev/sda5) which is
connected to the laptop throug the pcmcia card. I had to make an initrd to
boot it with the following modules: yenta_socket, pcmcia, ehci-hcd, ohci.hcd,
uhci-hcd, scsi_mod, sd_mod, usb-storage, piix, and reiserfs. And it works for
my "normal" SuSE 9.3.
But, when I try to start "xen", I got the following scenarios:
if I connect the external hard disk to the pcmcia, the system doesn't see it
at all;
if I connect the external hard disk to the usb 1.0, the system see it but end
up saying ". not found... (etc..)";
That might be the interesting part. Is it complaining about the root
volume not being found? Then it could be that a certain hardware driver
is missing and you have to compile the kernel anew.
Please provide this error message more completely.

sometimes I also got an error about
uhci_hcd going down for some reason ("something bad happened"); if I try with
the boot option "physdev_dom0_hide=(00:07.02)", the system hang up without
seeing my hard disk.
Sounds like a problem with your hardware (unstable electrical
contacts?) or instability of a driver module. How does it work with
SuSEs standard kernel?
Dirk
