-# Xen/ia64 heavily leverages/reuses many files from Linux/ia64
-# however as of August 2005, all of these files are checked
-# into the Xen tree so (if you remember doing so in the past)
-# there is no need to fetch a copy of linux-2.6.x.tar.gz
+# Recipe of Booting up  Xen/dom0/domU on IA64 system
+# 06/02/2006 Written by Xen-ia64-devel community.
 
-# build xen/ia64
-# if native
-make
+My enviroment is;
+  Machine  : Tiger4
+  Domain0 OS  : RHEL4 U2
+  DomainU OS  : RHEL4 U2
 
-# or if using cross-compiler
-make XEN_TARGET_ARCH=ia64
+----------------------------
+Build xen
+ 1. Download source
+    # hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-ia64-unstable.hg
+
+ 2. # make world
+
+ 3. # make install-tools
+
+ 4. copy kernels and xen
+    # cp xen/xen.gz /boot/efi/efi/redhat/
+    # cp linux-2.6.16.13-xen/vmlinux.gz 
/boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6.16.13-xen
+
+ 5. make initrd for Dom0/DomU
+    # cd linux-2.6.16.13-xen/
+    # make modules_install
+    # mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6.16.13-xen.img 2.6.16.13-xen 
--builtin mptbase --builtin mptscsih
+    # cd ..
+
+---------------------------------
+Make OSimg for DomU
+ 1. make file
+    # dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/rhel4.img bs=1M seek=4096 count=0
+    # mke2fs -F -j /root/rhel4.img
+    # mount -o loop /root/rhel4.img /mnt
+    # cp -ax /{dev,var,etc,usr,bin,sbin,lib} /mnt
+    # mkdir /mnt/{root,proc,sys,home,tmp}
+
+ 2. modify DomU's fstab
+    # vi /mnt/etc/fstab 
+       /dev/hda1   /            ext3    defaults        1 1
+       none        /dev/pts     devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
+       none        /dev/shm     tmpfs   defaults        0 0
+       none        /proc        proc    defaults        0 0
+       none        /sys         sysfs   defaults        0 0
+
+ 3. modify inittab (runlevel)
+    # vi /mnt/etc/inittab
+       id:3:initdefault:
+    
+ 4. add tty0 into /etc/securetty
+    # vi /mnt/etc/securetty (add tty0)
+ 
+ 5. umount
+    # umount /mnt
+    
+-------------------------------------
+Boot Xen & Domain0
+ 1. replace elilo
+    download from the below
+    http://elilo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/blosxom
+    and copy into /boot/efi/efi/redhat/
+    # cp elilo-3.6-ia64.efi /boot/efi/efi/redhat/elilo.efi
+    
+    
+ 2. modify elilo.conf (like the below)
+    # vi /boot/efi/efi/redhat/elilo.conf
+     prompt
+     timeout=20
+     default=xen
+     relocatable
+     
+     image=vmlinuz-2.6.16.13-xen
+             label=xen
+             vmm=xen.gz
+             initrd=initrd-2.6.16.13-xen.img
+             read-only
+             append="com2=115200,8n1 console=com2 dom0_mem=1G -- nomca nosmp 
console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200,8n1 rhgb root=/dev/sda2"
+
+-------------------------------------
+Boot DomainU
+ 1. make config of DomU
+   # vi /etc/xen/rhel4
+     kernel = "/boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6.16.13-xen"
+     ramdisk = "/boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6.16.13-xen.img"
+     memory = 384
+     name = "rhel4"
+     disk = [ 'file:/root/rhel4.img,hda1,w' ]
+     root = "/dev/hda1 ro"
+     extra = "nomca console=tty0 3"
+ 
+ 2. After boot xen and dom0, start xend
+   # /etc/init.d/xend start
+   ( In the debugging case, # XEND_DEBUG=1 xend trace_start )
+   
+ 3. start domU
+   # xm create -c rhel4

-INSTRUCTIONS FOR BUILDING XENLINUX/IA64
-
-hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xenlinux-ia64-2.6.12.hg
-cd linux-2.6.12
-cp arch/ia64/configs/xen_zx1_config .config # comment 1
-yes "" | make oldconfig
-make
-
-Start Xen from elilo, passing the Linux kernel as an initrd.
-
-Comments:
-1) just about any config file shoule work now, but you will need
-   to edit it to ensure that there are no modules
-2) CONFIG_IA32_SUPPORT is known to not work
-3) if running on ski, it is useful to make the following change:
-   a) at the beginning of drivers/acpi/motherboard.c:acpi_reserve_resources()
-      add the line:
-       if (!acpi_gbl_FADT) return;
-4) Build linux.
-   a) yes "" | make oldconfig
-   b) check the resulting .config to ensure there are no modules used (because
-      Xen/ia64 doesn't support them yet).  Change '=m' to '=n' and remake
-   c) yes "" | make oldconfig
-   d) make
