Hi list, I' trying to create my first vm with Xen, and I experience some problems. I follow some How to's and xen docs to build my own config file, but maybe, there are some errors inside it. I have the following problem, after i start my guest domain, the kernel boot & then a kernel panix is displayed : VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" 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) I try to start this Virtual machine from vmware workstation where i install Xen (Dom0 work perfectly). My config is make up of these lines : kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-2936.fc7xen" root = "/dev/hda1 ro" name = "test_Linux" cdrom = "/dev/cdrom" memory = "128" builder = "linux" name = "linux" disk = [ "file:/xenroot/linux/linux.xdi,hda1,w" ] Additionnals questions : a) Does i must use a modified Xen linux kernel, or, can I use a "normal/standard" kernel to boot up my VM? b) Is it possible to start a fresh install of Fedora directly from dvd in a guest domain (I mean without creating & mounting disk image/VM partition and copying root file system in it? If yes, how ? Thanks for your replyes. -- Guillaume -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
