Ian,OK. I copied all the contents from (hdc3) /dev to (hdc1) /dev, and that let's me boot xenU on hdc1. The problem, however, is that this is not they way RHEL 4 works--I need to figure out how the xen0 is able to boot off essentially the same setup.

In the image, I copied the contents of (hdc3) /dev to the image/dev. I still don't understand why I can get xenU to boot using the system partition (hdc1). I'll keep digging. David F Barrera Ian Pratt wrote:I believe it. But RHEL 4 has some differences from RHEL 3, among them the fact that in RHEL 4 the devices in /dev are created dynamically. Thus, if I mount hdc1 and look at /dev, it is empty. However, /dev in hdc3 (xen0) has 671 entries. I have a SuSE 9.0 system where the drive that I export (equivalent to hdc1, in this case) has many devicen on /dev, meaning they are static; RHEL 3 is similar.I had tried that (and hda1) before, but sda1 I get an error, too: [root@dyn95394184 xen]# xm create -c test1 vmid=1 Using config file "test1". Error: Error creating domain: vbd: Device not found: sda1try disk = [ 'phy:hdc1,0801,w' ] 0801 == sda1No difference. Same Kernel panicSomething odd is going on here -- I believe other people have had RHEL3 working.Can you mount hdc1 in dom 0 OK?Yes: [root@dyn95394184 ~]# mount /dev/hdc1 /data1 [root@dyn95394184 ~]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hdc3 6372520 2732376 3316436 46% / none 251384 0 251384 0% /dev/shm /dev/hdc1 7055144 2422572 4274180 37% /data1 [root@dyn95394184 ~]#Is there an sbin/init[root@dyn95394184 ~]# ls /data1/sbin/init /data1/sbin/init [root@dyn95394184 ~]#?

The problem has got to be related to the /dev issue.It might be worth enabling the debugging printks in drivers/xen/blkfront/block.h and drivers/xen/blockback/common.h and rebuilding xen0 / xenU.disk = [ 'file:/boot/initrd.x86.image,0801,w' ] # Set if you want dhcp to allocate the IP address. # dhcp="dhcp" # Set root device. root = "/dev/sda1 ro" Red Hat nash version 4.1.18 starting Mounted /proc filesystem Mounting sysfs Creating /dev Starting udev Creating root device Mounting root filesystem Switching to new rootinit started: BusyBox v1.00-pre10 (2004.06.10-04:09+0000) multi-call binary Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-xenU #1 Fri Dec 17 15:50:10 CST 2004 i686 unknownIan ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.Discover which products truly live up to the hype.
