I'm trying to get Xen 4.0.1 run as dom0 on a fresh/clean install of 10.10 desktop (x64).

Followed the step by step tutorial at http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0

I have the pvops kernel in /boot, also included the ext4 fs support by recompiling the kernel by :

make -j6 linux-2.6-pvops-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig
make -j6 linux-2.6-pvops-build
make -j6 linux-2.6-pvops-install

Here's my grub entry :

menuentry 'Xen4' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
        recordfail
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ext2
        insmod ext3
        set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 2bf3177a-92fd-4196-901a-da8d810b04b4
        multiboot  /xen-4.0.gz dom0_mem=1024M loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all
        module     /vmlinuz-2.6.32.27 root=UUID=2bf3177a-92fd-4196-901a-da8d810b04b4 ro
        module     /initrd.img-2.6.32.27
}

blkid /dev/sda1 gives the :

/dev/sda1: UUID="2bf3177a-92fd-4196-901a-da8d810b04b4" TYPE="ext3"

My partition shemes is :

/boot (ext3)
/ (ext4)

Whatever option i've tried i end up with :

mounting none on /dev failed: no such file or directory

And message complaining that it cannot find the device with uuid ...

It's taking my hairs out, if somone has a clue ...
