[Xen-users] Does anyone use Slackware w/Xen

[Steve Spencer <sspencer@xxxxxxxx>]

List,

I'm trying to use Slackware 12 has the basis for a Xen DomO install. 
I've been able to successfully do everything until after the kernel 
build.  I believe I'm missing something in the kernel build that would 
help me fix this, but have exhausted "Google" and "Xen" sources to date. 
   Here has been my procedure so far:
1.) Install Slackware 12 with X and all development packages, ext3 
filesystem.
2.) Install swaret for slackware updates, modify the config and run:
        a.) swaret --update
        b.) swaret --upgrade
3.) Install grub: swaret --install grub
4.) Run grubconfig
5.) Reboot and verify grub install
6.) Download and untar xen-3.2.0.tar.gz
7.) Run hg clone -r 406 http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
8.) cd xen-3.2.0
9.) Run make world and then make install
10.) vi /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the kernel as a boot option

When the machine is booted, it kernel panics and says that it cannot 
find block device.  The block device line is setup like the working 
config, which still boots fine.  Below is an example of the grub menu.lst:
# Linux Xen Kernel
  title Linux-Xen on (/dev/sda2)
  root (hd0,1)
  kernel /boot/xen-3.2.0.gz console=vga
  module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen root=/dev/sda2 ro console=tty0
# Linux bootable partition config begins
  title Linux on (/dev/sda2)
  root (hd0,1)
  kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 ro vga=771

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
