Re: [Xen-users] Xen 3.0.2 on Dell 1850 - unable to recognize root fs on /dev/md2

[David F Barrera <dfbp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Make sure you have SCSI support built in:

# SCSI device support
#
CONFIG_RAID_ATTRS=m
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y

#
# SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM)
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y


You may also need MPT support:

CONFIG_FUSION=y
CONFIG_FUSION_SPI=y
