Xen - filesystem not mounted cleanly

[Shakthi Kannan]

Hi,

I am using "Xen 3.2-1-i386-nonpae/Debian GNU/Linux, kernel
2.6.18-6-xen-686-nonpae" on Debian Lenny:

=== /boot/grub/menu.lst ===

title Xen 3.2-1-i386-nonpae / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-6-xen-686-nonpae
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen-3.2-1-i386-nonpae.gz
module  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-xen-686-nonpae root=/dev/sda1 ro console=tty0
module  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-xen-686-nonpae

=== END ===

I have /dev/sda4 partitioned with type 0x83 and have created a filesystem using:

  sudo mke2fs -b 4096 -I 128 -o hurd /dev/sda4

=== /etc/xen/hurd file ===

  kernel = "/boot/gnumach-xen"
  memory = 256
  disk = ['phy:sda4,hda,r']
  extra = "root=device:hd0"
  vif = [ '' ]
  ramdisk = "/boot/hurd-modules"

=== END ===

On booting, using "sudo xm create -c hurd" it stops at the following:

=== OUTPUT ===

foo@bar:~$ sudo xm create -c hurd
Using config file "/etc/xen/hurd".
Started domain hurd
d/exec $(exec-task=task-create) 2 multiboot modules
task loaded: /hurd/ext2fs.static -A
--multiboot-command-line=root=device:hd0 --host-priv-port=1
--device-master-port=2 --exec-server-task=3 -T typed device:hd0
task loaded: /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec

start /hurd/ext2fs.static: hd0 count 1
ext2fs: device:hd0: warning: FILESYSTEM NOT UNMOUNTED CLEANLY; PLEASE fsck
ext2fs: device:hd0: warning: MOUNTED READ-ONLY; MUST USE `fsysopts --writable'
Hurd server bootstrap: ext2fs.static[device:hd0] exec

=== END ===

"sudo xm list" displays both domain-0 and hurd in the list. I have
also fscked /dev/sda4. I don't get the console prompt. What am I
missing?

Appreciate any feedback,

Thanks!

SK
