[Xen-users] NFS root mount problem

[Peggy Fenner <peggy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello. =)

I'm having a bit of trouble with my nfs xen installation and have
spent much time trying to research/figure out this problem with no  
luck, so I'm hoping someone might be able to help me here. =)
I've successfully installed xen 3.02 on Linux RH4 on my Sun single proc
opteron v20z server.

I've installed what I believe to be a base Linux OS on a Netapp  
partition
and am trying to create a subdomain referencing the netapp nfs mount.
The xm create dies with the following errors:

Making device nodes
File descriptor 3 left open
  No volume groups found
Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
Switching to new root
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev failed: 2
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

My nfs configs from my config file are the following:
# Root device for nfs.
root = "/dev/nfs"
# The nfs server.
nfs_server = '172.21.156.15'
# Root directory on the nfs server.
nfs_root   = '/vol/xen/xenlinux-mv-01'

I can mount that manually.

The fstab in the netapp mount looks like this:
# Root
209.157.156.15:/vol/xen/xenlinux-mv-01  /       nfs      
defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/pts                devpts   
gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /proc                   proc     
defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs    
defaults        0 0
I'm really not sure what im missing...
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!
