Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block ..

Hello,

Try with hda1 or xvda1. I remember getting that a while ago and replacing sda with hda… but that could be wrong. Try it anyways!

Hi,

Kindly advice on below Error… Not able to start the VM..

Host2:~ # vim ubuntu.9-04.x86.xen3.cfg

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-xenpae"

memory = "256"

name = "ubuntu.9-04"

vif = ['']

dhcp = "dhcp"

disk = ['file:/root/ubuntu.9-04.x86.img,sda1,w']

root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

=============ERROR===========

VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)

Please append a correct "root=" boot option

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

Thanks in advance,

- regards
Pallab
