Re: [Xen-devel] Xen 3.2 FC6 DomU Kernel Panic

["Girish V" <girish.xen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for the reply. I was out of town for the weekend and could not reply earlier.

I have tried using a ramdisk - with builtin ide drivers, preloading xenblk and xennet modules - all the suggestions from xen mailing lists - but still no change.

Thanks,
Girish

You should use an initrd, since most modern distributions require one in order
to boot.  Add the line:

ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-3.2-xen.img"

to use the initrd from your host system (this should work, since as I
understand it you are using FC6 for both host and guest, am I right?)

I think I'd suggest you try that first and see if that changes the result.  If
you still have problems, post an update!

Hope that helps,

Cheers,
Mark
