how did you create the virtual partition?

Hello,
I am trying to boot a FC6 domU on Xen 3.2 (compiled on a FC6 system).

After compiling Xen 3.2 successfully on FC6 and making the ramdisk, I modified the conf.grub as shown below. With this, I was able to boot xen.

------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You do not have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda1
#          initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Xen 3.2 (2.6.18.8-xen)
      root (hd0,0)
      kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=1024M console=vga
     
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen ro root=LABEL=/1 console=tty0
      module /boot/initrd-3.2-xen.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6)
      root (hd0,0)
      kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
      initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Then, I created a domU image as in the uer manual for v3.0.

1) I created a blank discimage fc6_domudisk and monted in in /mnt
2) I copied /{root, dev,var,etc,usr,bin,sbin,lib} to /mnt
3) I makde the {home, proc, sys, tmp} directories inside /mnt
4) I modified the mnt/etc/fstab as follows
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/dev/sda1                /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) With this I tried to bring up the domU using the following configuration file. From what I understand, I can use the dom0 kernel itself for domU.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen"
memory = 256
name = "fc6"
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/second/fc6_domudisk,sda1,w' ]
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But the boot fails with a kernel panic. The boot messages are listed below.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It would be great if someone could help me out.
