Hello,

I  installed  the gpt table partionning  on my system, which allow me to have more as 4 partitions . It works 
fine to boot from every partition  from a standard kernel
 Of course, I enabled the gpt support  on the gentoo .
config.   For other distros , i must check.  that is not the problem.

But now  I  changed a test partition to a xen 
dom0 (gentoo 2.4.34-r3-xen ). the dom0 boot fine . But now when i start a domu , guest modified kernel  2.6.34-r6 , i 
get an issue. the domU boot process starts good , but when it is trying to mount the root partition, i get an "unknown  
partition table" and xvda: and no partitions number  like  "xvda1...." 

Idea? or some  similar experiences ?

Thank 
you very much ?

My system have the VT-X (and enabled in the bios , if anybody asks....)  , i could try to start the 
xen-guest as hvm (but from a partition , not an disk image) .. but it did not work...
it is my  second issue...
Regards

Claude Angéloz
