Hello,

I have installed xen3.1 from the tarball on a centos5 OS

I have followed up these instructions :

"$ cd dist 
$ su - 
# sh ./install.sh 

After installation, you will still need to modify your grub.conf to 
enable booting xen. Typically this means adding an entry like 

title My Distro with Xen (2.6.18-xen-3.1)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /xen-3.1.0.gz
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen ro root=/dev/<foo>
        module /initrd-2.6.18-xen

... obviously replacing <foo> with the name of your root device. "


So I have added this in my grub.conf file
title Centos5 with Xen (2.6.18-xen-3.1)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /xen-3.1.0.gz
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen ro root=/dev/sda2


I didn't find any initrd-2.6.18-xen file in the /boot partition !

Also when I reboot on the new kernel I have a kernel panic telling me that it doesn't find my root partition !
My disk are under raid1 with a 9550sx 3ware card (driver is included from 2.6.14)

Also my root partition is /dev/sda2

Sys. de fich.         Tail. Occ. Disp. %Occ. Monté sur
/dev/sda2              19G  1,4G   17G   8% /
/dev/sda1             244M   24M  207M  11% /boot
tmpfs                 2,0G     0  2,0G   0% /dev/shm


So do I have to create the 
initrd-2.6.18-xen

Any idea why it doesn't find my root partition ?

Thanks

Pascal
