I've been using Xen on FC4 and FC5 (and CentOS). I'm trying to
ugprade to FC6. However, I'm having problem getting a CentOS domU to
boot. The guest is complaing that it can't mount the root file
system.
This is my xen cfg file:
----
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen"
memory = 1536
name = 'dsv'
vcpus = 2
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:xenvg/dsvdb2,sda1,w', 'phy:xenvg/dsvroot,sda2,w',
'phy:xenvg/dsvswap,sda3,w', 'phy:xenvg/dsvusr,sda4,w',
'phy:xenvg/dsvvar,sda5,w' ]
root = '/dev/sda2 ro'
extra = "3"
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
on_reboot = 'restart'
----
On bootup, this is the error:
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" 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)
Nothing gets written to the xen log files. I tried with and without an ramdisk.
I read on the net that dom0 and domU can use the same kernel. Is this
not true. I don't see a kernel-xenU kernel so this must be true.
What am I missing?
Thanks for help any.
