[Xen-users] problem booting debian 4 as xen domU

["shashank rachamalla" <shashank.rachamalla@xxxxxxxxx>]

After installing xen 3.0.3 on fedora core 6 and successfully running Dom0, I downloaded debian.4-0.20071031.img from jailtime.org and modified the conf file as follows

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-
2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-debian-4.img"
memory = "128"
name = "debian.4-0"
vif = ['']
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = ['file:/xen/debian/debian.4-
0.img,sda1,w', 'file:/xen/debian/debian.swap,sda2,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

I used 
mkinitrd -f --with=ext3 --preload=ext3  --preload=xenblk --fstab=/mnt/etc/fstab --omit-raid-modules --omit-lvm-modules /boot/initrd-
debian-4.img 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen
to construct the ramdisk file.


Terminal output after running xm create :
