Hi all,

I want to play a bit with xen on my gentoo box, but I'm not able to push my
kernel to boot :-\

I've follow the xen & gentoo guidelines using genkernel compilation, but when
I setup my grub and reboot to xen kernel, this message appears:

!! Block device /dev/sda5 is not a valid root device...
!! The root block device is unspecified or not detected

I thaught this can be problem of the missing reiserfs in my kernel (compiled
as module), but wasn't.

In grub I have simillar configuration as for my suspend2-sources (which warks
correctly).

The grub line is:
title Xen 3.0/Linux 2.6.16.28-xen0
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=98M
module /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-xen0-2.6.16.28-xen0 root=/dev/ram0
real_root=/dev/sda5 udev
module /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-xen0-2.6.16.28-xen0.gz

/dev/sda3 == /boot (ext2)
/dev/sda5 == / (reiserfs)

Could someone point me to solution ???

Thanks a lot.

     Pat

P.S. I've googled, but I have not idea what I have to look for :-(
