Hello, I can offer some input from my own experiences regarding mounting root.

See here: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2008-03/msg00000.html You might even want to use the --preload option of mkinitrd. My exact mkinitrd was: # mkinitrd -v --preload=sd_mod --preload=xenblk --with=xennet --with=xenblktap\ --with=xenbus_be /tmp/test `uname -r` Then I copied /tmp/test to /boot/initrd-2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen.img. This worked for me - YMMV. Cheers, Fred.
