 I am trying to install the binary version of xen 3.1.

 When I boot, after some console output, I get the following:

 My grub menu is:

 Any help would be appreciated.


Looks like you are  missing a module in your initrd

Did you build the file: kernel26xenB.img with the kernel modules that
were in the downloaded binary package?


I just rebuild the image with the following command and am getting the same
error message.

mkinitcpio -k 2.6.18-xen -g /boot/kernel26xenB.img

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf is:
MODULES="ata_piix ext3"
BINARIES=""
FILES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide pata scsi sata keymap filesystems"

I also reinstalled the underlying os that I am building on so that the filesystem of sda3 is ext3.

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

Cheers,
Todd

 Thanks,
 Chris....
