Re: [Xen-users] xen SUSE 9.3 ReiserFS domU not finding root fs
Thanks for your help!
That line "INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs" is in /etc/sysconfig/kernel the
module seems to be loaded:
...
ide: Assuming 50MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
Loading kernel/drivers/ide/pci/piix.ko
Loading kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.ko
Loading kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid.ko
Loading kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko
Loading kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.ko
Loading kernel/drivers/ide/ide-cd.ko
Loading kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko
Waiting for device /dev/sda1 to appear: ok
rootfs: major=8 minor=1 devn=2049
Mounting root /dev/sda1
mount: No such device
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
<0>Rebooting in 1 seconds..
but something still goes wrong. Anybody uses XEN from the stock suse 9.3
with reiserfs?
Is it correct to specify initrd for xen in the config file like this:
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.11.4-20a-xen"?
thanks,
dan

Hi,
I have trouble starting my domU on a suse 9.3 box. I use the xen that
shipped with suse.
I use file backed VMs and created the root and swap images. I used
mkreiserfs to format the image file and installed suse 9.3 via the YaST
module "install into directory for XEN". finally I created /etc/fstab IN
the loop mounted image file:
/dev/sda1 / reiserfs defaults
1 1
/dev/sda2 swap swap pri=42
0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5
0 0
proc /proc proc defaults
0 0
If I boot such a domU - it panics while booting saying something like:
"Not syncing root file system - rebooting in <1>". If I use an image
file which was formatted with ext3 (again adjusted the /etc/fstab)
everything works fine and SUSE is booting. After a closer look I noticed
that the ext3 filesystem is used in ext2 mode only.
How do I use ReiserFS for my unprivileged Domains? Do I need an initrd?
How do I configure it? I tried the /boot/initrd-xen from suse and used
the following line in my config but it doesn´t seem to work too:
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-xen"
Can anybody help?
thanks a lot!

Is it possible your dom0 initrd is not loading reiserfs module? First look
is at the /etc/sysconfig/kernel in your dom0 root file system. Mount it
and look at that file, there should be a line like:
INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs"
Also, there was a thread in the list this week about problems with the
mkinitrd, where the mkinitrd just kept using the modules for the old
non-xen kernel, instead of the xen kernel. Gerd Knorr is one of the
participants.
