The Gentoo init scripts do some stuff that fails under a domU (hwclock, ntp..). There's a function that tries to detect a if the kernel is a xenU so as to not to do the things that fail, but it's currently broken (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107976). It would be nice to have a simple way to fix it. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
