I consistently get an error booting Dom0 from a SAN on JS21. I'm using xen_maple_defconfig + QLA2xxx device driver.

With an nfsroot boot argument passed in, the system boots fine.
With a root=/dev/nfs changed to root=/dev/sdc1 (a lun on the SAN), it mounts the root filesystem, and then fails with the following message:

kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
 <0>Rebooting in 180 seconds..Connection closed by foreign host.

The two root filesystems are basically identical, and I can boot and mount the SAN based filesystem as root for a linux kernel (no Xen).

This can be repeated on my test blade cso86 (chassis 4 blade 6). I am using yaboot, and the failing configuration is target cxeny2s.
