I know this is really a XEN or CentOS issue, but I've spent the entire day
googling and trying dozens upon dozens of different solutions to this
problem, but I still can't crack it, so maybe someone here can point me in
the right direction.
It's real simple -- I'm trying to create a simple xen domain. I just
installed CentOS 5.3 on a PE 1950.
I created a 20GB LVM Logical Volume called "xenvm1", created an ext3 fs on
it, then copied (as per the xen docs) the entire / directory over to the new
VG.
I have the following (significant) lines in my xen domain config file:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.4.1.el5xen"
disk = [ 'phy:VolGroup00/xenvm1,sda1,w' ]
# Set root device.
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
For the life of me, I can't get around this error when I start the xen VM:
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
Any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks.
