[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [Xen-users] Xen a couple of questions
I had stoped the virtual domain and modified in the config file to use the dom0 kernel. Here are the last lines of the guest boot where you can see the error: "SCSI subsystem initialized device-mapper: ioctl: 4.11.0-ioctl (2006-10-12) initialised: dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" But if I use the old kernelU i have which is actually for Fedorac core 5 then everthing it's ok. >> On Tuesday 5 June 2007 13:11, you wrote: >>> Thanks a lot, I appreciate your help. >>> 1.
