Re: [Xen-devel] xenctl returning exceptions (half of the time!)

I took the plunge and re-installed this server with RedHat 9.  I no
longer receive the Java exception errors.  I am having a problem with
the domains finding their root device.  I've tried to specify it
everywhere possible.

My script consists of:

domain new -ntest1 -k16768 -v1 -4192.168.1.51 -g192.168.1.1
-htest1.office.tektonic.net -d/dev/sda2 -tro root=/dev/sda2
-ainit=/linuxrc 4 DOMID=2
physical grant -psda2 -r
domain start

Everything starts up fine, but it cannot find the root device.  Here are
some snippets from the console:

[18] Kernel command line:
ip=192.168.1.51:169.254.1.0:192.168.1.1:255.255.0.0:test1.office.tektonic.net:eth0:off
 init=/linuxrc  root=/dev/sda2 ro
...
[18] root_device_name = sda2
[18] VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or 08:02
[18] Please append a correct "root=" boot option
[18] Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02


I've tried to specify "/dev/sda2" in as many places as possible, however
it keeps on trying to load just "sda2".  I am using xen-unstable as I am
testing under VMware and need the BusLogic SCSI support.
