After successful creation of the Xen kernel and entry into grub, whenever I try and boot into the Xen kernel I receive the following error:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/sda6 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
Here is the entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
title Xen 4.1.2 / Ubuntu 10.04.4 kernel 2.6.32.40 (root=sda6)
