BTW, we may need this patch:

diff -r f218e6ba2653 tools/libxc/xc_linux_build.c --- a/tools/libxc/xc_linux_build.c Fri Dec 23 21:14:21 2005 +++ b/tools/libxc/xc_linux_build.c Thu Dec 29 16:43:19 2005 @@ -397,6 +397,9 @@ { ctxt->initrd.start = vinitrd_start; ctxt->initrd.size = initrd_len; + } else { + ctxt->initrd.start = 0; + ctxt->initrd.size = 0; } strncpy((char *)ctxt->cmdline, cmdline, IA64_COMMAND_LINE_SIZE); ctxt->cmdline[IA64_COMMAND_LINE_SIZE-1] = '\0';

I can't start domU after changeset8372. applied two patches of changeset 8734 after that. However, the following message displays and DomU does not start.

"RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0 ."

Don't someone have information?

Thanks Fujita

8734 seems to be a future changeset. ;-)

Do you need initrd to boot your domU image? If yes, you may add an option in example file:

ramdisk = "initrd_name"

If no, can you try appending a "noinitrd" to extra field in your example file
like:

Extra = "4 noinitrd"

I guess there's some issue when domU image file doesn't require an initrd.
