Hi,

I have a problem while booting on dom0 : my hard drive disk can't be found.
This issue was probably ever solved, I found some topics closed to it, but it wasn't helpful.
Maybe someone already fixed this problem.

My hardware configuration is :
 - motherboard : MSI MS-7366
 - CPU : Intel Celeron E1200 1.60GHz
 - internal hard drive : SAMSUNG HD321KJ connected with SATA
I use Ubuntu-9.04, fully updated.

I downloaded XEN archive from XEN web site : xen-3.4.0-xen.tar.gz
I installed it with de following script (comments are in French) :
    # decompression de l'archive
    cd /home/ymir/Programmes/setup/xen
    tar -xzvf xen-3.4.0-xen.tar.gz
    cd xen-3.4.0
    # installation de XEN
    sudo make world
    sudo make install
    sudo sh ./install.sh
    # creer l'arbre
    sudo make dist
    # separer les kernel de dom0 et du domU
    sudo make world KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU"
    # installer le noyau du dom0 et du domU
    cd build-linux-2.6.18-xen0_x86_64 #pour le dom0
    sudo make menuconfig #ATTENTION : désactiver boot NFS : File System -> Networ File System -> Root file system on NFS
                 #ATTENTION : désactiver ACPI : Power management options -> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) support -> ACPI support
                 #ATTENTION : activer SATA : Device Drivers -> ATA/ATAPI/RLL support -> Support for SATA
    sudo make
    sudo make modules
    sudo make modules_install
    sudo make install
    cd ../build-linux-2.6.18-xenU_x86_64 #pour le domU
    sudo make menuconfig #désactiver aussi le boot NFS (l'ACPI et le SATA n'existent pas sur les machines virtuelles)
    sudo make
    sudo make modules
    sudo make modules_install
    sudo make install
    # créer une image disque du noyau
    cd ..
    sudo mkinitramfs -o initrd-2.6.18.8-xen0.img 2.6.18.8-xen0
    sudo cp ./initrd-2.6.18.8-xen0.img /boot
    sudo mkinitramfs -o initrd-2.6.18.8-xenU.img 2.6.18.8-xenU
    sudo cp ./initrd-2.6.18.8-xenU.img /boot
I did'nt see any error while running this script.

I add in /boot/grub/menu.lst :
    title Xen 3.4 / XenLinux 2.6
    kernel /boot/xen-3.4.gz dom0_mem=256000 console=vga
    module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen0 root=/dev/sda6 ro
    module /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen0.img
I'm sure my hard drive disk is mounted has /dev/sda6, and files are with the good path, I checked it many times :
    ymir@ginnungagap:~$ sudo fdisk -l
    [sudo] password for ymir:
    Disque /dev/sda: 320.0 Go, 320072933376 octets
    255 têtes, 63 secteurs/piste, 38913 cylindres
    Unités = cylindres de 16065 * 512 = 8225280 octets
    Identifiant de disque : 0x36363635
    Périphérique Amorce  Début        Fin      Blocs     Id  Système
    /dev/sda1   *           1        2689    21599361    7  HPFS/NTFS
    /dev/sda2            2690       38913   290969280    5  Etendue
    /dev/sda5            2690        2938     2000061   82  Linux swap / Solaris
    /dev/sda6            2939       38913   288969156   83  Linux
    ymir@ginnungagap:~$ ls -l /boot/xen-3.4.gz
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2009-10-02 20:41 /boot/xen-3.4.gz -> xen-3.4.0.gz
    ymir@ginnungagap:~$ ls -l /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen0
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2523030 2009-10-02 23:19 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen0
    ymir@ginnungagap:~$ ls -l /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen0.img
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3958065 2009-10-02 23:26 /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen0.img

When I boot on my dom0, I have this message :
    Begin: Waiting for root file system... ...
    Done.
    Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems :
     - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
        - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
        - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
     - Missing odules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
    ALERT! /dev/sda6 does not exist. Dropping to a shell
Then BusyBox is launched and I have has a prompt : (initramfs)
I check files and the result is :
 - cat /proc/cmdline : root=/dev/sda6 ro
 - echo $ROOTDELAY : returns nothing. I tried with rootdelay=90, it doesn't change anything
 - echo $ROOT : /dev/sda6
 - cat /proc/modules : nothing in return
 - ls -l /dev/s* : nothing in return
When I plug an USB storage device, I have this message : "USB 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" . But nothing appeared in /dev.

Did I make something wrong during install or is my hardware compatible with XEN ?
Thank you for your help.

Regards

Pierre
