[Xen-users] Solved: Xen with dom0 requiring initrd (for LVM root fs)
Hi all, thanks for your suggestions.
It's solved. The trick was to upgrade from xen 3.0.2 and kernel 2.6.16.26 to xen 3.0.4 and linux 2.6.16.33.
I briefly had a problem getting it going even with the new bits, but that turned out to be for unrelated reasons (bad /lib/modules).
The recipe in a nutshell: Install xen 3.0.4 from source tarball as per the README.
Compile kernel for built-in (not modular) dm-mod, loop, and ramfs. Don't use the mkinitrd command line shown in the README. Instead, use the so-called "second easiest way" or making initrd, as described in the Gentoo Root-LVM howto. The generic mkinitrd only installs modules, it doesn't know how to start LVM volume groups.
Derek.
