Re: [Xen-users] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8, 1)

Sorry for not getting to this sooner.  Have you found a solution yet?

Do you have DevFS support in the domU kernel?  If so, that won't work - you 
need static /dev nodes (or udev) in a domU.

Cheers,
Mark
