Hello All, I am facing problems in booting up Xen on Kubuntu 8.04.1 Booting crashes giving message "ALERT! does not exist. Dropping to a shell !" Last couple of lines are, sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0 Done. Check root=bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev ALERT! does not exist. Dropping to a shell ! BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built-in shell (ash) I followed the procedure given on http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2008-01/msg00700.html to install Xen 1. Created a "xen/build" directory on Desktop 2. Extracted xen-3.3.0.tar.gz in this folder 3. hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg (At the same level as that of xen-3.3.0) 4. cd xen-3.3.0 5. make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig 6. cp /boot/config-2.6.18-xen build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_64/.config 7. make linux-2.6-xen-build 8. make install 9. cd /boot 10. mkinitramfs -o initramfs.img-2.6.18-xen 2.6.18-xen11. added a grub entry for xen in menu.lst # This entry has been manually added for xen title Xen 3.3 / XenLinux 2.6 root ()/ubuntu/disks kernel /boot/xen-3.3.0.gz root=UUID=C4A2BD12A2BD09C6 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen module /boot/initramfs.img-2.6.18-xen 12. reboot And then I choose Xen 3.3 / XenLinux 2.6 option during booting. It starts booting and ultimately crashes throwing the message "ALERT! does not exist. Dropping to a shell !". If I execute cat /proc/cmdline, it gives nothing. If I execute cat /proc/modules or ls /dev, it lists some devices. (I can give this list if you think that is important.) I have attached the menu.lst with this mail for reference. Can anybody help me solving this problem? It is very important. Thanks in advance. - Mayuresh Attachment:
