Hi, All
I followed the steps in Fedora7VirtQuickStart to install Xen on Fedora 7.
I downloaded couples of file system image from
http://jailtime.org/. However,
every time I tried to create guest OS using those file system image, I got error
messages:
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
An example of Xen configure is:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-2936.fc7xen"
You don't have a initrd image that contains the block device and
filesystem modules.
I expect the images you have downloaded have a valid grub configuration
inside it. If they have it, you can use:
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
Instead of specifying a kernel that is outside the disk image. Pygrub
will be able to read grub configuration and kernel/initrd images from
inside the disk image.
