Re: [Xen-users] Xen reboots

non of the kernels seems to understand my nVidia Sata controller:

Cannot open root device "md2" or unknown block(0,0)
please append a correct "root=" boot option
kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)

here is my grub conf.

title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-9-386
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-386 root=/dev/md2 ro quiet splash
initrd          /initrd.img-2.6.12-9-386
savedefault
boot

title Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6
kernel          /xen-3.0.1.gz noreboot
module          /vmlinuz-2.6.12.6-xen root=/dev/md2 ro console=tty0

title Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6
kernel          /xen-3.0.2.gz noreboot
module          /vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen root=/dev/md2 ro console=tty0

strange Ubuntu 5.10 does recognize the harddrives not so the the latest
Ubuntu Dapper, same with Fedora4 and the latest Fedora5

should i get just two IDE Harddisk?

thanks
