    Hi:

    Any hints/pointers welcome. I am very new to Xen, I have a AMD
     "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+" based system on
    which I am running X86_64 Fedora Core 8. I have  installed Xen-3.1
    on it, but I can't get  Xen to boot.  It seems unable to find the
    root volume, the kernel panics and reboots immediately so I can't
    capture or write down anything and I can't seem to find a log
    anywhere in /var/log that would capture the failed boot sequence.
     I have a SATA drive.

    My grub.conf file is:


    default=0
    timeout=5
    splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
    hiddenmenu
    title Xen 3.1 / XenLinux 2.6
           kernel /boot/xen-3.1.gz console=vga
           module /boot/vmlinuz- 2.6-xen root=LABEL=/1 ro console=tty0
        # have also tried root=/dev/sda3, no luck.
    title Fedora (2.6.23.9-85.fc8)
           root (hd0,2)
           kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.9-85.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb
    quiet
           initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23.9-85.fc8.img
    title Fedora (2.6.23.1-42.fc8)
           root (hd0,2)
           kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb
    quiet
           initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img
    title Other
           rootnoverify (hd0,1)
           chainloader +1

    [root@zadapi1L log]# df -h
    Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/sda3              20G  3.0G   17G  16% /
    /dev/sda5              95G  211M   90G   1% /home
    tmpfs                 470M   24K  470M   1% /dev/shm

    Again, any hints or pointers to document sections of grub or Xen
    welcomed.

    Gautam
