True, as this patch uses a function that wasn't introduced before 2.6.28, then the patch would need to be applied to 2.6.28+ or one that has that function back-ported. > It is btw. not clear to me whether this second patch is supposed to > address the problem you reported on March 16th, or whether that > issue is still awaiting debugging/resolution. This patch was issued to also address the issue I reported. I have not yet managed to test the patch myself due to time-constraints.

But I specify "this week" as I never know if anything else comes around till I actually get home. -- Joost _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
