Hi, Im not a openvz expert, but your problem probably lies elsewhere. Instead of using root=/dev/disk/...... use something like /dev/sdb1 ...
To find this out for your system, from a terminal as root type fdisk -l You will see a list of all file partitions that you currently have. If you installed in the first partition it would be typically be something like /dev/sda1 or /dev/hdd1. Create a new entry in menu.lst ( /boot/grub/menu.lst) with something like this title SUSE-OVZ root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-027test011-0.12-ovz boot=/dev/sda1 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.16-027test011-0.12-ovz lemme know if this works. -Abhinav On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 12:28 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I've got some problems installing openVZ and would be very grateful, if > anyone could help me further.
