I think you need to create an initrd image like this:

        sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6-xen

Then update your grub entry:

        sudo update-grub

That should (hopefully) make your scsi driver available at boot. Hope that helps.

Hi all

I am trying to install Xen 3.0.2 The installation went well no errors
what so ever.
Exept when I try to boot with the new xen server I get error something
in the line "Cant find root= Partition"

It flashes past so fast.

The hardeware I am using is a Duel Xeon 2.40 with 2 GIG mem and a
Compaq Smart Array 5322

My menu.lst file has the following lines in for the

title Xen 3.0.2 / XenLinux 2.6.16
kernel /xen.gz
module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 ro console=tty0

When I do a dmesg this is a output I get for the scsi devises

scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36
       <Adaptec aic7899 Ultra160 SCSI adapter>
       aic7899: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs

scsi1 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36
       <Adaptec aic7899 Ultra160 SCSI adapter>
       aic7899: Ultra160 Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs

and

HP CISS Driver (v 2.4.52)
cciss: Device 0xb060 has been found at bus 1 dev 8 func 0
     blocks= 426784320 block_size= 512
     heads= 255, sectors= 32, cylinders= 52302 RAID 5

Now I think the problem is with the HP CISS Driver in the xen kernel
But I dont know where to find it and to add it as a module for the xen
kernal

Just a note I got all this information after booting back into the
debian kernal.

Regards
