Everything starts up fine, but it cannot find the root device. Here are some snippets from the console:

[18] Kernel command line: ip=192.168.1.51:169.254.1.0:192.168.1.1:255.255.0.0:test1.office.tektonic.net:eth0:off
init=/linuxrc root=/dev/sda2 ro ... [18] root_device_name = sda2 [18] VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or 08:02 [18] Please append a correct "root=" boot option [18] Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02

I've tried to specify "/dev/sda2" in as many places as possible, however it keeps on trying to load just "sda2". I am using xen-unstable as I am testing under VMware and need the BusLogic SCSI support.

HAve you built and installed the latest (unstable) Xen tools. v1.1 tools will not work!!

The xi_* tools need to be installed on your path so that xenctl picks them up.

I've seen some strange errors from Xenolinux recently, probably related to the new vbd system, but nothing like you've reported. I suspect a tools mismatch.
