Is it even possible to boot a modern distro without an initrd? Most require an initrd for udev/console stuff. I'd certainly like to see a patch (and clear documentation) that helps users with building an appropriate initrd. [I'd wouldn't mind seeing a couple of common SATA controllers included in the -xen config anyhow.] Ian _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
