Re: [Xen-users] Does anyone use Slackware w/Xen
To reply to your topic:
Yes, I run Slackware w/Xen.
To be more specific, I'm running slackware 11.0 as a Dom0 with Xen 3.1.
Your grub config looks almost the same as mine, except I'm using md0 instead of
sda2 to boot from.
Did you configure your kernel yourself?
If not you probably need an initrd to load the kernel modules required for your
sda device
and filesystem.
I personally don't like the initrd approach very much so I configured my kernel
to include all the drivers.
(which obviously works for me)
You probably need CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y and CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y in your kernel
config, but I can't say much more
based on the information you provided.
Good luck :)
Wouter.
