Hi, I built a Debian domU on Fedora using debootstrap (which is really easy, when using alien to create a debootstrap rpm). This VM runs very fine on fedora fc 6 with xen and the xen-linux kernel provides by xensource, and when built from sources. When trying to use it with the fedora xen packages and kernels, I have absolutely no luck. First, I was hanging on error message like "could not mount root device on /dev/root" (sorry, I don't have it at hand, becaue I just removed the fedora packages and used the xensource packages again, to be sure it really still works there). I got past that by creating an initrd with --with=xennet --preload=xenblk options, and boot the domU with this instead ofthe initrd that comes with the fedora xen kernel package. But then, the domU hangs on "starting crond..." I have no idea what is missing there, I already installed udev additionally, but that doesn't help. As said, this same system runs with no problem on FC6 with the xensource binaries. BTW: I run the system without pygrub and not with the kernel from disk, but with the kernel= options...
