could not find module dm-mem-cache
could not find module dm-region_hash
could not find module dm-message
could not find module dm-raid45
could not find module usb

the error is that

mkinitrd –with -usb initrd-….etcetc
its wrong, you have to write

mkinitrd –-with-usb initrd-…..etcetc

with two — before with and no space after with !!

now you will have
could not find module dm-mem-cache
could not find module dm-region_hash
could not find module dm-message
could not find module dm-raid45

without the line

could not find module usb

you will be able to boot

Don't want to get stuck with 5.6 missing on new exciting features of FP1 and future releases. I was just hoping there is something else I could do to minimize house-keeping (perhaps avoiding extra disk writes) :) Thanks Trond, I’m thinking about SSD option now.

No actually, good idea, haven’t thought about that. Currently to busy with my new Citrix XenApp 6 Video Training Course, but I will look into in the future.

If XS5.6 works, and FP1 not I would have sticked with that one. Another option is to by a small SSD disk or boot directly from your SAN. Try the Citrix Support Forum - XenServer section Hi Romuluz, I don’t use this myself in production. If XS5.6 works, and FP1 not I would have sticked with that one.

Both servers installed fine and your method worked great. But few days later xenserver started throwing all sorts of write errors regarding /dev/sda1. I tried several different flash cards, other usb ports, mounted ext3 with 'noatime', but the issue remains. Another identical server still has xenserver 5.6 and I don't have this problem. I also heard that HP and Dell don't sell servers with Xenserver on build-in flash cards anymore. Do you think there is something else I could try or the changes in FP1 make such a setup unreliable? Thanks. Hi Trond, I’m having problems running FP1 on USB sticks. Both servers installed fine and your method worked great.

Just make sure that the BIOS boot order in list your USB device first. Hi,

After the mkinitrd you are ready to boot from your USB to Citrix XenServer. Just make sure that the BIOS boot order in list your USB device first.
