Re: [Xen-devel] ttylinux unable to mount root fs on gentoo

[Mark Williamson <Mark.Williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting...

Does /dev/sda1 exist in dom0?  (I'm guessing not as you'll be using udev or 
devfs).  What happens if you specify 0801 instead of /dev/sda1 in your config 
file?

Cheers,
Mark
