I've hit a bit of a roadblock getting a domU operating under FC4.  The last
few lines on the console are:

Creating /dev
Starting udev
Loading jbd.ko module
Loading ext3.ko module
Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
Switching to new root
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
exec of init (/sbin/init) failed!!!: 2
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

dom0 is operating fine:

>xm list
Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                           0     1065     2 r-----  3707.7

Relevant info in the domU config file is:

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-domU"
disk = [ 'file:/xen/XEN-1,sdb1,w' ]
root = "/dev/sdb1 rw"

fstab entry in the domU image is:
/dev/sdb1               /                       ext3    defaults        1 1


This doesn't appear to be a module or initrd problem as the console
indicates that the root filesystem mounted ok but something is stopping the
box from successfully executing init.

Any input greatly appreciated.

FL
