Hi. I am trying to install xen 2.0.5 and am having problems getting the
xen kernel to boot. It seems to come up, recognize the PCI bus info,
the CPU, memory, and such, and then halts when it gets to trying to
mount NFS. It then asks for a boot floppy.
My guess is that it is not finding the / partition. The actual kernel
panic string, I don't have because the screen blanks so quickly. Below
is the last message where it halts, in addition to my grub.conf file.
Root NFS: No NFS server available, giving up
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy
VFS: Insert floppy and press Enter
