Hi,
I've got xen installed on debian. And everything is just fine as long as
I boot an (old) 3.16 kernel as dom0.
When I try to boot a kernel 4.11, 4.19 or 5.2 (dom0) under xen
hypervisor booting falls back to busybox with the message:
Gave up waitng for root file system device
When I boot just debian without xen there's no problem at all with any
of these kernel versions.
And of course I already searched the web and I found that a lot of
people experience problem with xen in combination with an adaptec raid
controller. And as I'm using an Adaptec 8405 controller, I suspected it
to be the bad guy. But: there does not seem to be a problem with aacraid
kernel module. When I drop to busybox (trying to boot with xen
hypervisor) and have a loot at the modules I get
# lsmod | grep aacraid
aacraid 87960 1
scsi_mod 195357 3 aacraid,libata,sr_mod
When I boot with xen and kernel 3.16 (which works) I get:
# lsmod | grep aacraid
aacraid 87960 4
scsi_mod 195357 5 sg,aacraid,libata,sd_mod,sr_mod
So at least there's no problem in loading the aacraid module. Any Ideas?
Cheers
Widu
