Hi there,

I got the exact same problem with Areca Raid controler.
All you have to do is to include the driver's in the initrd so that it loads at boot.

do the following :

depmod -a
mkinitramfs (or mkinitrd, depending on your system) -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16.29-xen 2.6.16.29
(of course change the kernel name & versions to fit your installation)
then add the following line in grub :

module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16.29-xen
after the vmlinuz line.

Tell me if it works,

Regards,

Hi All,
My Problem, i need a newer Driver that Support my 3ware Raid Controller I downloaded the SRC xen-3.0.3-testing-src.1.tgz, with Kernel
2.6.16, and i try:
# make world So, i downloaded the SRC from the Distributor with the new Driver for
Kernel 2.6.16, extract it and Copy the Files:
3w-9xxx.h -> XENSOURCE/linux-2.6.16.29-xen/drivers/scsi/
3w-9xxx.c -> XENSOURCE/linux-2.6.16.29-xen/drivers/scsi/
then: # cd XENSOURCE/linux-2.6.16.29-xen/
# make
# make install
no errors, and all good, the new files are copied under: # /boot Ok, start with the new Kernel .... Error: # Kernel Panic ... Cannot open root device sda3 .... I can see in the Bootprocess that the 3ware Controller was successfuly
detected ...
Booting with standart Kernel 2.6.19 on sda3 looks good. Mhh. I think that Xen not load my new Driver. What's wrong? Thanks for help. Greeds
