Re: [XenPPC] Cannot boot from local disk

[Maria Butrico <butrico@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kawachiya-san, seems that your problem today is different from 
yesterday.  You have however not answered any of my questions.  So here 
is goes again. 

Kawachiya-san, can you tell us exactly what kind of js20 is this.  I just
learned that there are two, the 21X (of which we have some in Yorktown) and
the GA2.  You can tell from the machine/model type.

When you boot the machine, during the firmware bring up, how many
processors are reported?

(for the list: I am asked this question because there was a problem 
coming up MP)
I assume that yesterday, once you changed xen to boot UP, you were 
suppling the same command line to dom0 via yaboot, but what did dom0 
really get?
Your error message yesterday was

     Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.
     VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.

Obviously today you have regressed, but still we need answers to all 
those questions.
