Hi,

I use Debian etch (Testing) on my Machine running 2.6.17-2-xen-686 kernel from etch. I tryed to set up vm1 in xen. Here is my config:
****************************************
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-2-xen-686"
memory = 128
name = "xenvm1"
disk = [ 'file:/var/images/vm1disk,sda1,w', 'file:/var/images/vm1swap,sda2,w' ]
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
****************************************

here is my /etc/fstab for the vm:
****************************************
/dev/sda1       /       ext3    errors=remount-ro       0       1
/dev/sda2       none    swap    sw                      0       0
proc            /proc   proc    defa ults                0       0
****************************************

/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-2-xen-686, /var/images/vm1disk and /var/images/vm1swap are there and I can chroot to /var/images/vm1disk without any problems.

When I try to boot the Mashine I get the message that the kernel can't find the Partition:
****************************************
NET: Registered protocol family 20
Using IPI No-Shortcut mode
Registering block device major 8
No filesystem could mount root, tried:  cramfs
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1
****************************************
You can find the whole output at: http://pastebin.ca/raw/190905

Could somebody please explain what I did do wrong. I really want to understand that the Problem is.

Thank

Ben
