It might be just me, as I have never seen/heard of a system set up that way. I have always put my HD's on the promary IDE interfaces (A & B) and the CD/DVD's on the secondary IDE interfaces (C & D).

The root line says hdb and the kernel line says hdd. No wonder it won't boot. Yet the older kernels boot up with the same (wrong looking) root and kernel lines, so I am wrong. I have not yet upgraded any of my sid partitions to the 2.6.22-2 kernel. Maybe I have this problem to look forward to or maybe I should wait till it (whatever 'it' is) gets fixed.

It didn't work. hdd has no bootable partitions, > and I still get the grub prompt, and using configfile complains about > cylinders.=20 I read the other part of this thread and I'm not sure those guys are barking up the right tree, though they could be. I think it is perfectly valid for grub and the kernel to have different device names for the drives and so long as you keep track of which context you're working in, then I think you're alright.=20 One thing that might be helpful is what does the BIOS call those drives? In your bios setup screen there will be the usual table of harddrives and their positions on the motherboard, as the bios sees them. Can you provide that info for us? please include how the bios is addressing them (LBA etc). What motherboard is this and how old is it? It looks like you are facing an ancient problem with BIOS that couldn't see beyond the first 1024 cylinders. With your large / partition, I'd bet those non-working kernels are beyond the range that the bios can see, and I'm willing to bet that your bios is configured incorrectly to see those higher cylinders.=20 A --Fig2xvG2VGoz8o/s Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG5DS4aIeIEqwil4YRAlTPAJ0Ud7u3bYiMLBH8wWygHmetN3DCzACgvkgd Egb21/Gqu1KIgeLOPCLxrHc= =zolB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Fig2xvG2VGoz8o/s--

Grub uses /boot/grub/device.map to identify which HDD maps to which (hd?). It might be useful to see the OP's device.map file, but grub could just ignore hda and hdb as they are not HDD.

You can mess around with initrd all you want without serious risk. Just rename the current working initrd to something sensible; mess around with the configs and build a new one and try it on a reboot. If it fails, reboot again and select the known working one by editing your grub parameters and try again.=20 You certainly won't go very far wrong by selecting MODULES=3Ddep or whatever it is. That will then only insert the modules that are required to boot the system based on the current hardware (not sure what foo it uses to do this) requirements. But it will certainly get you a smaller initrd and may help with certain persistently loaded modules (like floppy). > > I wonder what you get in initramfs.conf if you do not select to load=20 > "floppy" when installing.

Okay. Well It has been a long time (6 months+) since I did this as these days the stock debian xen kernels are fine for me, but.. > > You can use the normal Debian kernel source and compile like you > > would normally, making sure to select the xen patch. >=20 > Unfortunately, this simply doesn't work.

So you have also installed linux-patch-debian-* and then done: $ sudo make-kpkg --added-patches xen clean $ sudo make-kpkg --added-patches xen kernel-image ? Also back when I did it, this bug was present and needed the described workaround: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D382699 That is what I mean by "making sure to select the xen patch". It's the same process as used for making your own linux-vserver kernel. If you still have problems I would recommend the debian xen package mailing list.
