hi,

i've tried xen 3.1 on my gentoo lastly but i can't boot xen because of
the message:

VFS: cannot open root device "/dev/hda3" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

i've used the tar source from xensource.
so the kernel is 2.6.18-xen

here's my config:
/etc/fstab
/dev/hda3               /               reiserfs        noatime
                 0 0

grub.cong
title Gentoo avec Xen 3.1 / Linux 2.6.18-xen
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/xen-3.1.0.gz
module (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen ro root=/dev/hda3
module (hd0,0)/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen --> i've tried with and without

any help would be appreciated.

thank in advance.
