Hi all,

I have another problem with starting domainU (xenolinux). I took me pretty much quite some time and i can not figure out why starting a new domain is failing.
I will really appreciate if somebody can help me with this error.
The error I get when booting xen-domainU is:
/=======================
Red Hat nash version 4.1.18 starting
Mounted /proc filesystem
Mounting sysfs
Creating /dev
Starting udev
Loading scsi_mod.ko module
SCSI subsystem initialized
Loading sd_mod.ko module
register_blkdev: cannot get major 8 for sd
Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
Switching to new root
Enforcing mode requested but no policy loaded. Halting now.
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
/=============================
My configuration file looks like:
[root@six xen-domains]# cat xen-export.conf
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xenU"
memory = 128
name = "six-xenolinux"
nics = 1
ip = "192.168.1.207"
netmask=get_current_ipmask()
gateway=get_current_ipgw()
hostname="six-xenolinux"
disk = ['phy:sda5,sda5,w']
root = "/dev/sda5 ro/"
# Kernel image file.
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.10-xenU"
# Optional ramdisk.
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.11.10-xenU.img"
===============================
DomainU fstab looks like:
[root@six xen-domains]# cat /export/etc/fstab
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
LABEL=/               /dev/sda5           ext3    defaults        1 1
===============================
Domain0 looks like:
[root@six xen-domains]# mount
/dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/sda5 on /export type ext3 (rw)
--------------------------------------------
where actually /export is where I mount the domainU rootfs.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Lamia M.Youseff
