Hello,
thanks for the reply. actually here is what I have/did:
[root@muratisik ~]# cd /xen/fedora/
[root@muratisik fedora]# ls
fedora.fc4.img fedora.fc4.xen.cfg fedora.swap
[root@muratisik fedora]# cat fedora.fc4.xen.cfg
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5xen0"
memory = 128
name = "fedora.fc4"
nics = 1
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = ['file:/xen/fedora/fedora.fc4.img,sda1,w',
'file:/xen/fedora/fedora.swap,sda2,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
[root@muratisik fedora]# mount -o loop fedora.fc4.img /mnt/
[root@muratisik fedora]# cat /mnt/etc/fstab
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
[root@muratisik fedora]# umount /mnt/
[root@muratisik fedora]# xm create fedora.fc4.xen.cfg -c
and the error appears:
...
md: ... autorun DONE.
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)

[<c0102029>] init+0x0/0x2fe
[<c01029ad>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb
Then I changed both image's fstab to hda1 and hda2 , also editted cfg to
match hdas. and I get the same error. any ideas? is there any more
information (log, config, debug vs.) I can supply?
have a nice day.
