Kernel 3 comiling problem under XEN

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES Virtualization
1

Hello,

I`m running XEN 4.1.2 on OpenSuse 12.1 x64
I want to compile a new kernel (3.2.1) on SLES 11 SP1 in HVM mode.
It hangs on booting the new kernel. The root partition was not found.

Before booting the new kernel,
the command “mkinitrd -v -k vmlinux-3.2.1 -i initrd-3.2.1” gives somme
error output:
