dom0 fails mounting root file system
Hi,





I am trying to boot the Xen hypervisor and dom0, but dom0 fails to
mount root file system. I tried following both param set, but no
success.



menuentry "XenClient - XenLinux" {

set root=(xenclient-root)

search --fs-uuid --set fcfd890e-c67f-44bb-8435-d7ffb390b82e

multiboot /boot/xen.gz console=vga dom0_mem=512M

module /boot/vmlinuz console=tty
root=UUID=fcfd890e-c67f-44bb-8435-d7ffb390b82et ro nopcihide

module /boot/initramfs.gz

}



menuentry "XenClient - Full console output" {

set root=(xenclient-root)

multiboot /boot/xen.gz console=vga dom0_mem=512M

module /boot/vmlinuz console=tty root=/dev/mapper/xenclient-root
nopcihide

module /boot/initramfs.gz

}

Hi,

You have a special option for our initramfs, could you try shell=1 at
the end of the linux boot cmd line. It should get you a shell inside
the initramfs.
