[Xen-devel] Problem on FC3

[Adhamh Findlay <darwin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm getting a VFS kernel panic when trying to booting to FC3 from Xen.  
Its the one that says I must supply a valid "root=" option.  (sorry I 
don't have it verbatim.) 

I'm using the xen-2.0 binary installer, kernel 2.6.9.  I am using 
ext3fs, but I am fairly certain that I have compiled support into the 
kernel. (I've tired compile xen from the 2.0 and nighltly source too :-).
I've tired Keir's suggestions but to no avail... I'm fairly new to 
linux, but not to unix.  I'm just don't know what to try next.
Suggestions?

Here's my setup:

Device Boot
/dev/hdc1
/dev/hdc2            FreeBSD
/dev/hdc3            FC3 Boot (ext3fs)
/dev/hdc4            Extended
/dev/hdc5            FC3 Root (ext3fs)
/dev/hdc6            FC 3 swap

I've also got other partitions.

Grub.conf:

default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd1,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

       kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 console=vga
