Thread-topic: domU won't recognise my block devices
With the following in my config file:

disk = [ 'phy:vg00/mail2-root,hda1,w', 'phy:vg00/mail2-swap,hda2,w' ]

root = "/dev/hda1 ro"

My domU says:

VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(3,1)

I am using a -xen kernel (not xen0 or xenU) with the as-shipped config
with the exception that I have AoE compiled as a module.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

James
