[Xen-users] 3w-xxxx scsi problem, Xen will not boot

[Chris Burnett <chris@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Has anyone experienced any problems trying to install Xen 3.0 on  
Ubuntu (RAID 10) with the 3ware drivers? I have provided the details  
below, but any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

On boot, the 3ware controller fails and the system then can't find / 
dev/sda2/
It appears that the 3ware RAID drivers aren't working.
However, the kernel has scsi_mod, sd_mod and 3w-xxxx built in.
Note that I have a normal Ubuntu kernel installed that works fine  
with the 3ware controller.
I have tried a number of options in the kernel config to get through  
this, but no luck so far.
I am using this page as a model: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/

According to this, you can't do this install without comiling from  
source.
prior to a reboot, i am doing the following:

make linux-2.6-xen-config
make linux-2.6-xen-build
echo $?
make linux-2.6-xen-install
echo $?
depmod 2.6.12.6-xen
mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd-2.6.12.6-xen.img /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen
init 6

this is during the boot process
