[Xen-users] Xen3.0, LSI MegaRaid, Debian

[Sebastian Ewert <ewerts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,


Problem: Debian(linux-image-xen-686) Dom0 does not boot from LSI MegaRaid

I'm sorry, because I don't know if I'm at the right place to ask for a 
solution for my problem, because it might be Debian related. Nethertheless I 
try:
Xen Kernel are in Debian Unstable for a month or so. I'm running an Etch 
(testing) machine here and I wanted to try out Xen. I followed this guide here:
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/396

The only difference is that I set APT::Default-Release "testing"; in my 
apt.conf so that the rest of the system stays in etch (just the xen kernels 
are not in etch).
In my system is a LSI Megaraid SCSI Controller; there no problem booting 
from it using the xen-less Debian Kernel. But when I boot up the Xen Kernel 
I get some IO Error messages about sda (some sectors; especially sector 0). 
The boot process ends with the message "Waiting for root filesystem" and 
after a while I'm in BusyBox.
I tried the same guide from above in a VMware machine (so without 
complicated hardware) and everything worked out fine.
I would like to give more boot screen messages but I don't know how I can 
save them (since the boot process is interupted).

Thank you in advance for any idea or direction where to go...
