Hi again, thanks for answering i tried yaird and i got an error again:

megaraid: 2.20.4.5 (Release Date: Thu Feb 03 12:27:22 EST 2005)
register_blkdev: cannot get major 8 for sd
/bin/cat: /sys/block/sda/dev: No such file or directory
Waiting 1 seconds for /sys/block/sda/dev to show up
/bin/cat: /sys/block/sda/dev: No such file or directory
Waiting 2 seconds for /sys/block/sda/dev to show up
/bin/cat: /sys/block/sda/dev: No such file or directory
Waiting 4 seconds for /sys/block/sda/dev to show up
/bin/cat: /sys/block/sda/dev: No such file or directory
Waiting 8 seconds for /sys/block/sda/dev to show up
/bin/cat: /sys/block/sda/dev: No such file or directory
Waiting 16 seconds for /sys/block/sda/dev to show up
/bin/cat: /sys/block/sda/dev: No such file or directory
Device /sys/block/sda/dev seems to be down.

I  also try to use lvm2create_initrd and then got:

RAMDISK: ext2 filesystem found at block 0
RAMDISK: Loading 3368KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... done.
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 188k freed
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to 
kernel.
I have tried both Xen and XenU kernel but i always got a kernel panic.

Any ideas?

Does someone built xen from source and make work a lvm2-root domU?

Regards,
Ernesto
