Re: [Xen-users] Re: Kernel panic, unable to mount rootfs

If you're getting that far (to starting the dom0) then grub might not
directly be the issue. I got that error message when I was using a
kernel (for dom0) that hadn't been compiled with support for my scsi
adapter. From the looks of your menu.lst, though, it seems you
probably did a custom build, so you would know what you included. My
only other guess is if there is an initrd image you haven't put in the
grub configuration?
