In addition, you're presenting the disk as hda1. You probably mean to
present the disk as hda so the partition hda1 on hda isn't confused. As
Olivier has pointed out though, you appear to have many other issues to
work through as well.

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.
Hi,
I am not sure how you have installed your VM ? You should try to
reinstall the VM using virt-install (command line) / virt-manager (GUI).
It is not great to try a virtualisation solution inside another one (
you may have strange behaviour / poor performance ).
a) You need to run the xen kernel in order to use xen.
b) To install a paravirtualise VM you will need to have an install
tree exported as http. You can simply mount the DVD on /var/www/html
and start the http server.
