Hi Akio,

Sorry for response late. I just tried with the config you provide (I changed xenU modprobe.conf and fstab). But unfortunately it still couldn't work. XenU booting still report can not find filesystem /dev/root/ and kernel panic. 

Well, after add "ide0=noprobe" etc. xenU won't complain to check hda, hdb etc. again. Thanks for this information. 

Best Regards,
Yongkang (Kangkang) 永康
