[Xen-users] Problems booting kernel



Hello,

first of all I have to say that I'm pretty new to XEN. I had it running once 
but my HDD crashed before I could make a backup.

So I really wan't to have a xen-system again.

I installed the 32bit binary tarball and generated /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen

When I try to start the kernel the last thing I see is
"Kernel Panic. ????? unable to mount root-fs ??? unknown block (0,0)"

root-fs would be the name of my root FS Partition.

Where does the kernel know the name from when it can't mount it? Its a normal 
ext3 fs.


I use a Mainboard with a ICH7 Chipset and a Core2Dou E6420.

I allready tryed a packages from debain (stable), the my Harddrive was found 
but nothing happend after that, just some USB 
messages.

Here is the output of my /boot/grub/menu.lst:
################################################
title My Distro with Xen (2.6.18-xen-3.1)
        root (hd0,5)
        kernel /boot/xen-3.1.0.gz
        module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen ro root=/dev/sda6
        module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen
################################################
Here is a link the the full file: http://pastebin.ca/715760

I don't really know that to search for, because the system reboots to fast.

P.S.
I use a newly installed debian etch.

Mybe someone could help me understand whats going on.

Thanks Ben Pfitzner
