Hi Ali,

I had the same error before. I tried two things and I'm not sure which one was the actual solution. I changed root=/dev/hda1 to root=/dev/hdb1 (or sdb1). The second thing I did was to compile in the drivers for my SATA and the Ext3 file system into the kernel. Where did you get your vmlinuz-2.6-xen from?

Hth,

Dan

Hey guys, first time install, would appreciate any help.

On booting up the following error occurs: "No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext2. Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)"

Like I say, any ideas very much appreciated. I've copied my menu.lst entry for Xen below if it's any use,

Cheers,
Ali

grub menu.lst:

title Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6

module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty
