Hi,
when i try to set up a DomU with the following configuration:
dir = /home/xen
debootstrap = 1
size = 4Gb
memory = 128Mb
swap = 128Mb
fs = ext3
dist = dapper
image = sparse
dhcp = 1

initrd = /boot/xen-
modules-2.6.16-11.1-generic
mirror = http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

and try to start it with:

I've tried also when i substitute the DomU empty fstab with the Dom= one and i'm using the same kernel and initramfs image.

Does anyone know something about this issue?
