boot fails with "No volume groups found"
Hi users,

This has me stumped. I've become an expert on making this NOT work;(

FC3, raid 1, lvm, with stock 2.6.9 kernel boots fine.

Clean xen-2.0.5 from bkbits, make world, etc. no errors.

I've xconfig'd to include my motherboard's (ecs KT600) chipset (via
82Cxxx) and processor (k7), and moved /lib/tls out of the way, make'd
and installed (with ARCH=xen) and created an initial ram disk:

mkinitrd \
--omit-scsi-modules \
--omit-raid-modules \
initrd-2.6.10-xen0.img \
2.6.10-xen0

Here are two grub stanzas, first one is default, second is for Xen

title fc3 (2.6.9-1.667)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/Domains/dom0 vga=0x317
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img

title fc3 (2.6.10) Xen
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=524288 noreboot
module /vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 ro root=/dev/Domains/dom0 console=tty0
module /initrd-2.6.10-xen0.img


Boot proceeds without error until this place in the boot up sequence:
Starting udev
Making device_mapper control node
Scanning logical volumes
Reading... this may take awhile...
cdrom: open failed
No volume groups found ****

This is the line that works with 2.6.9 but fails with 2.6.10-xen0.

Tried with binary install and achieved the same results.

Read and googled and list archived til I can't see any more. Any advice?

TIA, (and hopefully this has not been in front of my nose)
Mike Wright
