Hi:

Any hints/pointers welcome. I am very new to Xen, I have a AMD "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+" based system on which I am running X86_64 Fedora Core 8. I have installed Xen-3.1 on it, but I can't get Xen to boot. It seems unable to find the root volume, the kernel panics and reboots immediately so I can't capture or write down anything and I can't seem to find a log anywhere in /var/log that would capture the failed boot sequence. I have a SATA drive.

My grub.conf file is:

default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Xen 3.1 / XenLinux 2.6
kernel /boot/xen-3.1.gz console=vga
module /boot/vmlinuz- 2.6-xen root=LABEL=/1 ro console=tty0 # have also tried root=/dev/sda3, no luck.
title Fedora (2.6.23.9-85.fc8)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.9-85.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23.9-85.fc8.img
title Fedora (2.6.23.1-42.fc8)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img
title Other
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1

[root@zadapi1L log]# df -h

/dev/sda5 95G 211M 90G 1% /home

Again, any hints or pointers to document sections of grub or Xen welcomed.
