[Xen-users] xen 3.0 on UP amd64 - rootfs mounting problem in xenU

[Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <arekm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to run Xen 3.0 on my amd64 UP machine. So far xen0 is working fine 
but there is a problem with mounting rootfs on xenU kernel.

Is there something else that needs to be compiled into xenU 3.0 kernel?

$ grep XEN kernel-xenU-x86_64-3.0.config

CONFIG_ARCH_XEN=y
