RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] RFC: Switch to xlilo now? Or post-3.0?

Hi Dan,

Plese call Akio. :-)

I probably did the following step.

# cd /root
# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-ia64-unstable.hg
# cp /home/takebe/linux-2.6.12.tar.bz2 /root/xen-ia64-unstable.hg
# cd /root/xen-ia64-unstable.hg
# patch -p1 < /root/xen-xlilo.patch  <-----Tristan's Patch
# make world
# make install-tools
# cp xen/xen.gz /boot/efi/efi/xen/
# cp linux-2.6.12-xen0/vmlinux /boot/efi/efi/xen/vmlinux-2.6.12-xen0
# cd linux-2.6.12-xen0
# make modules_install
# mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/xen/initrd-2.6.12-xen0.img 2.6.12.6-xen0
# vi /boot/efi/efi/xen/elilo.conf 
        image=vmlinux-2.6.12-xen0
                label=xen
                vmm=xen.gz
                initrd=initrd-2.6.12-xen0.img
                read-only
                append="com2=115200,8n1 console=com2 sched=bvt maxcpus=1 
-- nomca nosmp console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200,8n1 rhgb root=/dev/sda2"

# reboot
and boot with /boot/efi/efi/xen/xlilo.efi
