I am attempting to use pv-grub on a stock arch linux instance on linode by following this post:-
http://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?p=49387
Unfortunately, I am unable to get my pv-grub enabled instance booted up.
Here's the error log I am able to retrieve via logview
in linode's lish
.
Xen Minimal OS!

[21800338.998818] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
How should I interpret this error and how do I go about fixing this so my pv-grub enabled arch linux instance can now boot properly?
UPDATE
I also notice that it claims that the filesystem type is ext2fs
. Perhaps this is the problem as the disk I created on linode.com
is in fact using ext3
?
