RE: [Xen-users] 3.4-testing : Kernel panic on bootup (mount: couldnotfind filesystem /dev/root/)

["Madhu Venugopal (vmadhu)" <vmadhu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I started everything from scratch...

1. Installed CentOS 5.3
2. Installed XEN 3.4-testing as per README

The same problem during the reboot. I copied the Grub entry from the
Native CentOS5.3 installation.

This time am seeing an error additional error :

"Volume group : "VolGroup00" not Found"

Searching the forums, I understand that this is a Logical Volume and
There are a few problems with Logical Volumes. But none of the
workarounds
Seems to work.

I get a feeling that the "mkinitrd" is not doing its job completely.
(or) what am I missing ?

Can someone help me please ?
