Re: [Xen-users] Xen 3.2 is not loading on FC8 - Error: Kernel panic -Attempted to kill init

["Argyro Andreou" <argyro.andreou@xxxxxxxxx>]

no I didn't change anything in .config of the linux kernel.

 

I'm running FC8 on a DELL OptiPlex 755,  2.33GHz Core Duo processor, 4 GB RAM and 160 GB HD 

 

Thanks

I guess some device driver for your sata driver was not loaded, so the kernel can't find the /dev/root device.
Did you change the .config of linux kernel? By default, it should include most of the drivers.

When installing Fedora Core 8 I didn't do custom partitioning I used the default option. If custom partitioning is need can you please tell me exactly what partitions are needed?

 

Thanks

Hi Argyro,

 

Could you take out the "quiet" switch in the Xen kernel boot args and tell us exactly what it says? You might also want to add a "noreboot" in that section so you can write down exactly what it says.

 

Thanks,

Subject: [Xen-users] Xen 3.2 is not loading on FC8 - Error: Kernel panic -Attempted to kill init

 

Hi all,

I compiled and installed Xen 3.2 source on FC8. Compilation and installation completed with no errors. However when I try to load Xen I get an error: Kernel panic - Attempted to kill init !!!

This is my grub configuration:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=15
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.23.1-42.fc8)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img

title Fedora Core 8 + Xen 3.2.0
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /xen-3.2.1-rc1-pre.gz
    module /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
    module /initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img   

I tried loading Xen without initrd also. But I get the same error.

Please can anyone help me. I've trying to solve this problem since last Friday and I can't see any light at the end of the tunnel


Regards
Argyro
