[Xen-users] Re: Looking to install guest vm - slackware 12.1

[Charlie Reddington <charlie.reddington@xxxxxxxxx>]

So I gave up on the mkuml script, though it appeared to work. I went  
to jailtime.org, downloaded the image along with the cfg file.
I'm using this for my xm config file --

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5xen" ------ Should I be  
using something else here? --------
memory = 256
name = "slackware.12-1"
dhcp = "dhcp"
vif = ['']
disk = ['file:/var/lib/xen/images/slackware.12-1.img,sda1,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

And the error I am getting is --

No filesystem could mount root, tried:  ext2 iso9660
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown- 
block(1,0)
And my full screen output is --

xm create slackware.12-1.xen3.cfg -c
Using config file "./slackware.12-1.xen3.cfg".

I'm running xen 3.1 on a centos5.2 box. It was installed via yum.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Charlie
