Hi all, thanks for your suggestions. It's solved. The trick was to upgrade from xen 3.0.2 and kernel 2.6.16.26 to xen 3.0.4 and linux 2.6.16.33. I briefly had a problem getting it going even with the new bits, but that turned out to be for unrelated reasons (bad /lib/modules). The recipe in a nutshell: Install xen 3.0.4 from source tarball as per the README. Compile kernel for built-in (not modular) dm-mod, loop, and ramfs. Don't use the mkinitrd command line shown in the README. Instead, use the so-called "second easiest way" or making initrd, as described in the Gentoo Root-LVM howto. The generic mkinitrd only installs modules, it doesn't know how to start LVM volume groups. Derek. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
