Failed to mount rootfs on a bare metal instance

0

Hi,

I am trying to install Xen hypervisor on a bare-metal instance. After installing Xen, I rebooted the instance but it failed to boot. Below is the system logs. Why was it not able to mount the rootfs? The storage was the same one that the instance was using before installing Xen.
