Re: [Xen-users] Centos Dom0 kernel panic on boot 
| 
Hi,
could you say what modules your sata device is using?
if you don't know, then please do "lsmod" with your working centOS 
kernel and try to guess what module it is. 
I guess you have to use a newer version of the module needed.
Cheers,
Alex

hello,
I am attempting to compile a Dom0 CentOS 5.2 guest from source, using 
XenLinux 2.6.18.8 with a Xen 3.2.1 hypervisor. I am able to compile 
the Dom0 kernel, but when I attempt to boot into it, I receive the 
following messages: 
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
As the serial console log attached shows, there is some problem with 
the SATA drivers that seems to be preventing the hard disks from being 
mounted. I am running this on an HP wx9400 workstation (AMD 64 bit 
Opteron, with 2 SATA disks using an on-board RAID controller). 
I have tried several kernel configurations, including the default 
XenLinux configuration, a modified version of my native kernel 
configuration (with Xen options turned on), and a configuration set 
with  'make allmodconfig'. I have tried ramdisks created using just 
mkinitrd with no options, and also using `--with=scsi_mod 
--with=sd_mod --with=sata_nv` as well as the same thing except using 
`--preload=..` 
The one thing that seems suspicious in the XenLinux configuration is 
that the SCSI/SATA symbols have different names than the symbols in my 
native CentOS kernel that does boot (2.6.18-92). When I try to copy 
the native config, I get several warnings about unrecognized symbols, 
and have to go manually turn on the SATA drivers in `make menuconfig`. 
If anyone has any insight or suggestions, I really appreciate it.
thanks,
Arvind
