[Xen-ia64-devel] IA64 Intel further problems

[Radek Antoniuk <r.antoniuk@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!


I've overcame the problem with the blank screen.
The reason was that there was wrong path in the vmm= section in the 
elilo.conf file :)

Now, there is something more. I've compiled into kernel all modules 
needed for booting, created an initrd image even. The problem is that, 
that the kernel panics because it can't mount rootfs.
The weird thing is that some lines up, I can see that the responsible 
controller is found, and that sda1 sda2 sda3 are visible.
The message then says:
Cannot mount rootfs with any filesystem! tried: ext2 ext3 reiserfs .....
And in fact the rootfs is ext3(however in an EFI partition?).

My elilo.conf:

install=/usr/lib/elilo/elilo.efi
boot=/dev/sda1
delay=20
default=Linux
relocatable


image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-mckinley
        label=Linux
        root=/dev/sda2
        read-only
        initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-mckinley

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen
        label=xen
        root=/dev/sda2
        vmm=/boot/xen.gz
        read-only
        initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen
        append="com2=115200,8n1 console=com2 dom0_mem=1G -- nomca nosmp 
console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200,8n1 rhgb root=/dev/sda2"

And for curiosity:
fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 36.7 GB, 36701199872 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4462 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1        4463    35841015   ee  EFI GPT


Remark: the non-xen kernel works of course :)
Any ideas?


Thanks in advance for help!
Radek
