Re: [Xen-users] Creating a custom kernel configuration?

Hi Tony,

OK, I've setup the following grub configuration

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.16-xen
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/xen-3.gz
module          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen root=/dev/sda1 ro console=ttyS0
module          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-xen
savedefault
boot

where the kernel is created directly from 'make world; make install' and
the initrd image as you describe above.

However, I get an error message (screendump attached).  Got any ideas of
what's going on there?  It doesn't know the filesystem type devfs..
