Mark Williamson and I seem to have gotten this sorted out -- while my
xenolinux build was based on a 1.2 pull as of about 24 hours ago, he
built another from a more recent pull (within the last hour or two?),
tossed it to me, and that boots. I made no other changes, just dropped
his xeno12linux.gz into /boot and told grub to go get it. I haven't
tried another pull/build myself, but I would expect it would work as
well. I did notice that Mark's xenolinux was about 80k larger than
mine.
Moral of the story: there may have been something in 1.2 yesterday which
was breaking some block device operations. If you hit this, do another
pull, mkbuildtree, make clean, etc.
Possible alternative explanation: I'm using gcc 3.0. Mark's using
3.2.2. I'll make sure to post here when I next rebuild, to let folks
know if the compiler was an issue.
