Hi.
I have SATA HDDs in software raid1 (mdadm). debian amd64
Why I cannot boot xen without initrd?
I get error:
VFS: 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)
Thank you for any help. I am getting crazy about this.
 
 
 Well, let's see. Because the RAID, SATA, ext3, or other drivers were not 
hard-loaded into your kernel, but need to be present in an initrd to provide 
enough access to your file-system for you to boot?
 The practice of preloading drivers versus module loading them, and usiing 
initrd to pre-loading modules, is an old well worth studying a bit about.
