Re: [Xen-users] fresh xcp 1.6 & xenserver install fails on first boot (kernel not found).

Errol - thanks!

I saw a post people made about rebuilding initrd (mkinitrd --with-usb) and gave 
that a shot.

My backgroud is more freebsd than linux - and that feels rusty. It feels like 
it may be the issue (a missing driver) but how do I tell?

Dump dmsg from a shell boot on the xenserver and compare it how?

Thanks again. I tried copying /sys/block/* (I read it in a seemingly related 
how to) and ran mkinitrd but that did not help.

Thanks again,

Mitch

Boot using the CD, mount the partition and examine the initrd image and make 
sure your driver is in there.
I can't imagine it not booting if the ISO booted just fine.
