[Xen-users] Problem booting Xen DomU images under Ubuntu Jaunty (Dom0 working nicely)

[Nicholas W <4407@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,
 I now have my Dom0 working nicely running Ubuntu Jaunty. I am now
trying to boot Images I had been using without problem under my
previous Xen installation (Gentoo). For the Dom0 host kernel I am
using the debian package
linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-686_2.6.26-15_i386.deb. The DomU kernel is
one I compiled myself a while ago (sometime last year and has always
worked on Gentoo and I think even Centos)


Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem with the DomU not
recognizing the virtual disk image.

/etc/xen/ubuntu looks like this:

kernel = "/workarea/xen/kernels/vmlinuz"
memory = 1024
name = "ubuntu"
vif = [ '' ]
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = ['tap:aio:/workarea/xen/images/ubuntu.img,sda1,w',
        'tap:aio:/workarea/xen/images/swapubuntu.img,sda2,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

and the console output of the failed boot is like this:

Using config file "./ubuntu".

Could anyone please give me some clues as to what might be happening.

Thanks so much for your help,
