[Xen-devel] Cannot open root device for dom0

[stevegt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi All,

Getting "Cannot open root device" on a pretty vanilla setup.  Xen seems
to see the device but xenolinux does not.  I'm stumped.

- Followed Bin's HOWTO, with 1.2 variations as in docs/Xeno-HOWTO

- /dev/hda1 is the ext3 root partition for a bootable native Linux
  (debian woody)

- ext3 and ext2 drivers are both built into xenolinux (i.e. I'm using
  the default xenolinux .config generated by 'make menuconfig', and have
  verified CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y)

Does anyone know why the (failed) modprobe attempt is happening at all,
since the ext3 driver is built in?

Steve
