1 Hi all,
2
3 I'm trying to setup my Gentoo box to use xen kernel, but during the boot I've
4 got this:
5 !! Block device /dev/sda5 is not a valid root device...
6 !! The root block device is unspecified or not detected
7
8 My disk partitioning is like this:
9 /dev/sda3 /boot
10 /dev/sda5 /
11 /dev/sda7 /mnt/data
12
13 And the grub setup is:
14 title Xen 3.0/Linux 2.6.16.28-xen0
15 root (hd0,2)
16 kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=98M
17 module /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-xen0-2.6.16.28-xen0 root=/dev/ram0
18 real_root=/dev/sda5 udev
19 module /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-xen0-2.6.16.28-xen0.gz
20
21 (The real_root and root params are correct with suspend2-sources.)
22
23 Please could someone help me to find solution ???
24
25 Thanks a lot.
