Well, I'm running with a 3ware RAID controller but from what I

Yes.. it should. It should happen a Kernel panic after a "no root
device found" if the controller is in charge of the problem.
However, if you want you can look at config-<kernel version> and
inside you'll find several string, i.e. CONFIG_SMP=Y
If they are =Y the driver is compiled in. If they're =M they're
compiled as module and should be present in initrd if required for
boot (chipset, controllers...) and if they're IS NOT SET and
commented out with # they are not present anyway in your kernel
I can't help you anymore, sorry!
No, it's ok, I found the issue, but now I have a new problem :P
Basically, the situation is I am using IPMI to access this remote
machine over Serial-over-LAN during the early booting stage. When
the other kernels loaded, they echo to the serial console with no
problem.
BUT the xen kernel doesn't - when the kernel loads, IPMI goes "dead".
I've been over & over the documentation & can't work out why this is
so. This is why I THOUGHT the xen kernel was buggy.
The relevant lines are...

The Red Hat linux works with serial-over-LAN, but I can't get xen
working with SOL :(
Any ideas?
Y.
