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

I guess I could do this from the cd / iso and compare the results? Or is there 
a way to confirm from the working kernel which driver. Is bound to the sda 
device?

Yes. Take the initrd and decompress it:

zcat initrd > /tmp/initrd
Then open it up
mkdir /tmp/initrd_tmp
cd /tmp/initrd_tmp
cpio -idmv < ../initrd

Then examine the files and ensure your driver is there..
