[SLE] Trying to run Xen 3 on SLES9 - kernel panic on boot
Hey all, I'm running SLES9 on a Dell Poweredge2850. I have 6 SCSI hard disks running RAID 10 off from the onboard RAID controller. I'm trying to run xen 3.0 on this machine. I installed the xen binaries seemingly without any issues, but whenever I try to boot the Xen kernel, I get a kernel panic and the system immediately reboots. I don't have a log of the failure text, but the panic deals with being unable to find the root path that I've set, /dev/sda1. My initial guess is that this is an initrd issue because of the SCSI/MEGARAID controller. I'm using the initrd packaged with the xen binaries for SLESsp2. I also tried booting with the regular SLES initrd and got the same panic. If it is an initrd issue, how do I add specific modules to the existing xen initrd? I've tried using mkintird, but I can seemingly never get it to work right. I'm fairly desperate, so any advice you can give me would be fantastic. I tried posting on the xen lists but got nowhere. Thanks, Justin Mahood
