I'm having problems getting a fresh Xen 3.0.1 install booting.

The server is running Debian 3.1, with /boot on an ext3 partition on the first SATA disk. I have / mounted on an ext3 partition that is inside LVM on a software RAID1 partition on both disks.

The server boots fine without Xen, but with Xen it says it can't find an NFS root.

The (I think) relevant parts of /boot/grub/menu.lst are:

        title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-386
        root            (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386 root=/dev/mapper/group1- dom0slash ro
        initrd          /initrd.img-2.6.8-2-386
        savedefault
        boot

        title Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6
kernel /xen-3.0.gz dom0_mem=262144 root=/dev/mapper/group1-dom0slash ro console=tty0
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.12-xen0 root=/dev/mapper/group1-dom0slash

Any tips please?

Thanks,

Mark.
