Hi Dan, Kevin,

Sorry for a late mail. And, thanks for thinking about my problem.
>8734 seems to be a future changeset. ;-)
Oops! Sorry it's a typing miss...

I tried the start of domU with changeset:8473 this time.
problem of RAMDISK was able to be cleared this time.
But, the problem occurred newly.
It stops with the mount of root. ( Please look at an attached log.)
I investigated a little.
stop is done with ext3_fill_super of sb_bread.
( /linux-2.6.12-xenU/fs/ext3/super.c )

this is my Configfile. Is there a wrong place?

kernel = "/boot/vmlinux-2.6.12-xenU"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.12-xenU.img"
memory = 512
name = "rhel4-2"
disk = [ 'file:/root/rhel4.img,hda1,w' ]
root = "/dev/hda1 ro"
extra = "nomca nosmp xencons=tty0 console=tty0 3"

thanks,
Fujita
