The IDE controllers on the box are : 00:05.0 IDE interface: Silicon Image, Inc. PCI0680 Ultra ATA-133 Host Controller (rev 02) 00:0f.1 IDE interface: Broadcom CSB6 RAID/IDE Controller (rev a0) On normal debian install/kernel, the broadcom gets loaded first. On the Xen kernel; the Sil controller gets in first. Interestingly, the only way i got the Xen kernel to boot was to use yaird rather than the standard mkinitrd, that is the only one which compiles a proper list of my modules. > This is also the reason behind the erratum for d-i listed on: > http://www.us.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata Nice one, i had forgotten about that one, that would indeed explain the behavior. I have to paste this in, this is the boot from the Xen kernel : SiI680: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:05.0 SiI680: chipset revision 2 SiI680: BASE CLOCK == 133 SiI680: 100% native mode on irq 16 ide0: MMIO-DMA , BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio ide1: MMIO-DMA , BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio Probing IDE interface ide0... hda: SAMSUNG SP2014N, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0xf4802080-0xf4802087,0xf480208a on irq 16 Probing IDE interface ide1... hdc: SAMSUNG SP2014N, ATA DISK drive [snip] SvrWks CSB6: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:0f.1 SvrWks CSB6: chipset revision 160 SvrWks CSB6: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide2: BM-DMA at 0x08b0-0x08b7, BIOS settings: hde:DMA, hdf:pio ide3: BM-DMA at 0x08b8-0x08bf, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio Probing IDE interface ide2... hde: TEAC CD-ROM CD-224E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive It actually booted up properly BUT (that's the important bit here), GRUB wanted this to be able to start : title Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6 kernel /xen-3.0-i386.gz noreboot module /vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-xen-686 root=/dev/hde1 ro module /initrd.img-2.6.16-2-xen-686 Steph - -- Mail sent on Gentoo Linux (http://www.gentoo.org) http://frlinux.net - [EMAIL PROTECTED] public key : http://frlinux.net/files/frlinux_public_key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFElv7xplbM2wjOZgMRAkp3AJ9P+Hi/Fm50tE4NBBhSVxDi0qMkpwCgs1zh dy6ScXWtuJDlVod6JDI/I7s= =yWS5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
