Hey All

I got new Intel VT enabled hardware recently. As i am installing XEN
3.1 over it gives me dom0 booting issues. After i solved lot many
issue i got stuck up with error saying "Begin: waiting for root
filesystem"

I have downloaded the vanilla Linux 2.6.18 and installed the same. It
is also stucking with same error "waiting for root filesystem".  How
ever Linux 2.6.22 booting perfectly. So the conclusion says there is
some driver issue which is not supported by Linux 2.6.18.

After Some investigation i found that the New SATA controller by Intel
is not support in Linux 2.6.18, Hence XEN is also stucking with it.
Since i need to enable the xen over this machine , so is there any
work around for the same problem in XEN 3.1 (other then back porting
the relevant driver)

I still need to check the unstable Xen 3.2.
