Re: [Xen-users] Xen 3.0.0 + RAID + LVM + CentOS = problem



Hello,

Yes, the disks are detected fine on the same devices (/dev/sda and
/dev/sdb) on both kernels (regular and Xen dom0 flavor).

If not, then the xen kernel is either missing the drivers you
need or the initrd isn't right or...?

Hello,

I installed CentOS 4.2 (RHEL4 based) on a server (P4 3.4, 4GB mem,
2 x 250GB SATA-drives). I've tried both official Xensource RPMs and
the CentOS RPMs posted by Aaron Weller, but I can't get neither to
work. I'm running LVM on top of software RAID1 (autostarted) and
it works fine on regular CentOS kernel, but the Xen dom0 kernel
doesn't boot. I get:

And here it ends. The disks are detected fine under Xen as well,
so the problem seems to be RAID autorun. I found a post on some
mailinglist that advised to compile the RAID modules into the
kernel. I tried that but with the same results. I haven't tried
Xen 2.0 yet on this box, but I have another box with similar setup
(LVM on RAID1) with Xen 2.0 which works fine.

Any clues?
