I am trying to install the binary version of xen 3.1.

When I boot, after some console output, I get the following:

:: Loading Initramfs
scsi_mod: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
SCSI subsystem intialized
:: Running Hook [udev]
:: Loading udev...input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/inpt/input0
done.

done.

ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/sda3'
ERROR: Unable to create/detect root device '/dev/sda3'
Dropping to a recovery shell... type 'exit' to reboot



My grub menu is:
timeout 5
default 0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue

# (0) Arch Linux

root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro

root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=524288
module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen root=/dev/sda3 ro
module /kernel26xenB.img

My fstab is:
none  /dev/pts   devpts   defaults   0 0

/dev/sda4 /home         ext2     defaults               0 1



Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris....
