All,

Sorry, I forgot subject in original mail ;-(

I am running xen3.0.2 on CentOS4.2, and get this error when trying to boot Xen kernel(domain0)

ERROR1: Before build initrd(mkinitrd -f -v initrd-2.6.16-xen.img 2.6.16-xen),I got this error during boot:

VFS: Cannot open root device "/" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

ERROR2: After initrd built, I got another error here during boot:
......
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: Attempting to kill init!

>More,In grub.conf,I have changed the root=LABEL=/ to the actual device
(root=/dev/sda3),and make the same change in /etc/fstab,but I got same error.

my installation steps as below,
any clues?

Thanks
