Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I want to play a bit with xen on my gentoo box, but I'm not able to push my |
| 4 |
kernel to boot :-\ |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I've follow the xen & gentoo guidelines using genkernel compilation, but when |
| 7 |
I setup my grub and reboot to xen kernel, this message appears: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
!! Block device /dev/sda5 is not a valid root device... |
| 10 |
!! The root block device is unspecified or not detected |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I thaught this can be problem of the missing reiserfs in my kernel (compiled |
| 13 |
as module), but wasn't. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
In grub I have simillar configuration as for my suspend2-sources (which warks |
| 16 |
correctly). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The grub line is: |
| 19 |
title Xen 3.0/Linux 2.6.16.28-xen0 |
| 20 |
root (hd0,2) |
| 21 |
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=98M |
| 22 |
module /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-xen0-2.6.16.28-xen0 root=/dev/ram0 |
| 23 |
real_root=/dev/sda5 udev |
| 24 |
module /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-xen0-2.6.16.28-xen0.gz |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
/dev/sda3 == /boot (ext2) |
| 27 |
/dev/sda5 == / (reiserfs) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Could someone point me to solution ??? |
