I'm having issues booting dom0 where it fails since it cannot find the
boot partition.
Details:
This is on a 32-bit system.
I installed SLES10 and chose the Xen packages along with it. This Xen
kernel boots fine. But when I extract xen-unstable (on Jan 9th), build
it, build an initrd for it and boot it, dom0 boot fails. (Before
building Xen from source, I moved all the xen files installed by SLES
in /boot to another directory). Below are the exact messages when the
failure occurs:
.................
................

Loading processor
Loading thermal
Loading fan
Loading reiserfs
Waiting for device /dev/hda1 to appear:........... not found --
exiting to /bin/sh
$
After this, the keyboard locks up and I can't do anything except power
cycle the system.
I compared the contents of the initrd installed by SLES and the one I
built and the only thing that differs is the init file. I'm attaching
both versions of init here.
I'm also attaching the dmesg output from the successful boot of the
Xen kernel from SLES. Here's the same part of the output as the
failing one above:

One thing I noticed while building the initrd is that it complained
about not finding dependencies for the "edd" module. I looked at SLES
docs, and it says to ignore the error.
I'm also attaching the boot config file here.
Any pointers on what's happening here or how I can debug this problem further?
Thanks,
Deepa
