RE: [Xen-users] No init found.

[Paul Tap <paul.tap@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I struggled with this for while too. Got it going now though. Ok, I'm
not on 100% identical hardware (it is HS20 but with AoE SAN), nor on Xen
3 (still running 2), but I think it's more of an initrd issue than
anything else. I found the Fedora and CentOS Xen manulas to be very
helpful. Besides that, I wrote a howto for myself
(http://www.armorica.net/index.php?id=57) that may be helpful. It deals
with initrd (and what to leave out).

Maybe it helps.

Regards,

Paul Tap
