Hi, Note: Full kernel output at end of email and Xen logs are at <a href="http://www.derf.nl/drop/xen-logs">http://www.derf.nl/drop/xen-logs</a> Details: OS - Fedora 8 Arch - x86_64 Kernel - 2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen Packages - xen-3.1.2-2.fc8, kernel-xen-2.6.21.7-2.fc8, xen-libs-3.1.2-2.fc8 Description: I am trying to boot a CentOS image downloaded from <a href="http://jailtime.org">jailtime.org</a>, specifically the image at: <a href="http://www.jailtime.org/download:centos64:v5.1">http://www.jailtime.org/download:centos64:v5.1</a> My configuration currently looks like this: kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen.img" memory = 256 name = "centos.5-1.64" vif = [ '' ] disk = ['file:/var/lib/xen/images/xen/centos.5-1.64.img,sda1,w', 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/xen/centos.swap,sda2,w'] root = "/dev/sda1" extra = "ro enforcing=0" Selinux is off on the dom0 host, which is Fedora 8. The seemingly relevant bit of the log is : Loading xenblk.ko module register_blkdev: cannot get major 8 for sd vbd vbd-2049: 19 xlvbd_add at /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/47/2049 register_blkdev: cannot get major 8 for sd vbd vbd-2049: 19 xlvbd_add at /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/47/2049 register_blkdev: cannot get major 8 for sd vbd vbd-2050: 19 xlvbd_add at /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/47/2050 register_blkdev: cannot get major 8 for sd vbd vbd-2050: 19 xlvbd_add at /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/47/2050 XENBUS: Timeout connecting to device: device/vbd/2049 (state 6) XENBUS: Timeout connecting to device: device/vbd/2050 (state 6) Loading xennet.ko module netfront: Initialising virtual ethernet driver. netfront: device eth0 has copying receive path.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! I have tried the following : * I have create a new initrd, making sure to include the Xen block devices but the guest is still not able to boot. * Loopback mounted to check for for the existence of /proc,/dev and /sys and those dirs are present. Any assistance will be much appreciated! Thanks, Fred. ------------------------------ Full log output below ------------------------------ Using config file "./centos.5-1.64.xen3.cfg".
