Hello All,

I have been having a very difficult time getting any template to work on xen.  Here is what I am running

root@personal:/etc/xen-tools# xm info

release                : 2.6.22-14-xen

Now, I have these three files:

/etc/xen/gentoo.2007-0.xen3.cfg
/mnt/gentoo/gentoo.2007-0.img
/mnt/gentoo/gentoo.swap

Here is what my gentoo.2007-0.xen3.cfg looks like:

root@personal:/etc/xen# cat /etc/xen/gentoo.2007-0.xen3.cfg
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-xen"
memory = 456
name = "gentoo.2007-0"
vif = [ '' ]
dhcp = "dhcp"
#disk = ['file:/mnt/gentoo/gentoo.2007-0.img,sda1,w', 'file:/mnt/gentoo/gentoo.swap,sda2,w']
disk = ['tap:aio:/mnt/gentoo/gentoo.2007-0.img,xvda1,w', 'tap:aio:/mnt/gentoo/gentoo.swap,xvda2,w']
root = "/dev/xvda1 ro"
#initrd = "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-xen"
extra = "gentoo=nodevfs"

The problem is that everytime I do:

root@personal:/etc/xen# xm create gentoo.2007-0.xen3.cfg -c

I get:

[ 6195.091118] List of all partitions:
[ 6195.091146] ca01    2049024 xvda1 driver: vbd
[ 6195.091157] ca02      65536 xvda2 driver: vbd
[ 6195.091167] No filesystem could mount root, tried:  cramfs
[ 6195.091179] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(202,1)

That happens during the boot of the new domU.  I have tried to figure out if my problem was here in my gentoo*.cfg file:

#disk = ['file:/mnt/gentoo/gentoo.2007-0.img,sda1,w', 'file:/mnt/gentoo/gentoo.swap,sda2,w']
disk = ['tap:aio:/mnt/gentoo/gentoo.2007-0.img,xvda1,w', 'tap:aio:/mnt/gentoo/gentoo.swap,xvda2,w']
root = "/dev/xvda1 ro"

But I have nooooo luck.  I have looked online everywhere and through the mailing list to no avail.  Does anyone know why this could be happening?

Regards,
T
