[Xen-devel] ttylinux unable to mount root fs on gentoo

[Karl Higgins <karl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have a gentoo box running xen 2.0.3 which is unable to boot the ttylinux 
image from sourceforge. I compiled xen, xen0, and xenU from sources.

I have attempted to boot the xenU kernel with / in a file and a logical volume 
and get the same message either way.

error message:

VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(8,1)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)

config file passed to "xm create ...":

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xenU"
memory = 64
name = "ttylinux"
nics = 1
#disk = [ 'phy:hdX_vg/ttylinux_lv,sda1,w' ]
disk = [ 'file:/root/ttylinux-xen,sda1,w' ]
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
restart = "never"
