Re: HELP! Boot stops at chkrootfs.sh and can't fsck: /sbin/fsck: cannot execute binary file

Thanks for the help. Not quite sure if I'm providing the right info, but...

1. I don't know any initrd files in the dom1, only the domU. The link to the initrd.gz is (from the xen ".cfg"): /boot/ initrd.img-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64
2. The rootdelay=30 did not resolve it.

Here's the configuration for the dom1 (xen1).

-A

#
# Configuration file for the Xen instance xen1, created on
# Fri Oct 13 11:00:26 2006.
#

#
# Kernel + memory size
#

kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64' ramdisk = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64' extra = 'rootdelay=30'

memory = '512'

#
# Disk device(s).
#

root = '/dev/sda1 ro'

disk = [ 'phy:vg00/xen1-disk,sda1,w', 'phy:vg00/xen1-swap,sda2,w' ]

Do you need help?
