Re: [Xen-users] grub.conf//menu.lst

Hi;

İ have done all the stuff that you explain (thanks for all of course) and try to boot xen 
but now i have another problem that "kernel panic : unable to mount root fs on device 
(0,0)"

Is there something about volume manager?



More or less, yes. You forgot the initrd module statement in grub.conf. So the kernel misses the device mapper module ("driver") that is in the initrd.

Just add "module initrd /initrd-<version>.img" to grub.conf. You might need to create it with the mkinitrd command if it is not in /boot already.

BTW. Why are you using Xen 3.1?

Bas.

My final grub is

# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.

#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
