Hi Akio,
Sorry for response late. It is very detailed instructions. :)
I found my initrd doesn't preload xenblk.ko. Then it failed to create root device.
Now I can create xenU too with your guide. Thank you so much.
But did you notice xenU booting is a little slow?
Best Regards,
Yongkang (Kangkang) 永康
