I'm trying to run Xen 3.0.2 on a Dell 1850 that has the following specs:

2 x dual core 2.8Ghz Xeons
LSI something or rather SCSI controller
2GB of RAM
2 x 73GB Ultra SCSI 320 Maxtor drives

I have the two hard drives in a RAID 1 configuration, where /dev/md2 is the root partition.

my grub.conf/menu.lst file looks like this:

title Xen 3.0
kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=65536
module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen root=/dev/md2 ro console=tty0

No matter what I try, it always does a kernel panic complaining about md2. So rather than using the binary files, I compiled a custom kernel with options for SCSI, RAID0, RAID1 and drivers for LSI SCSI stuff built in as static, rather than modules.

Same thing. The boot is always interrupted by the kernel panic complaining about md2. Has someone gotten Xen to run on such a setup? If so, can you offer any pointers?
