Re: [Xen-devel] PVH dom0 creation fails - the system freezes

["Bercaru, Gabriel" <bercarug@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I applied the match mentioned, but the system fails to boot. Instead, it
drops to a BusyBox shell. It seems to be a file system issue.

Following is a sequence of the boot log regarding the file system issue.

done.
Gave up waiting for root file system device.  Common problems:
 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
 - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)

a shell!

The patch is still a WIP, but it's good to know it solves your USB
issues :).

I think you are likely missing patch:

http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=173c7803592065d27bf2e60d50e08e197a0efa83

Can you try to update to latest staging or apply the patch and try
again?

I think if you have this patch applied the number of errors reported
by the IOMMU initialization should go down.

Thank, Roger.
