RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] RE: [PATCH]Allow different config file forxenlinux on same arch

["Zhang, Xiantao" <xiantao.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dan,
        Thanks for your support. I have booted Xen0 successfully according to 
Akio's Knowhow, but it needs to compile Xen0 twice and need to run make 
menuconfig manually every time .So this is  not the best solution to solve this 
issue. Lastly,I adopted your suggestion to make the generic one for tiger and 
ZX. Comparing xen0_defconfig_ia64 in xen-unstable with our 
xen0_defconfig_tiger, I found only several items not included in 
xen0_defconfig_ia64. Hence, I added them by "make menuconfig". Currently, we 
can boot Xen0 with this candidate generic one. We haven't ZX box, so can you 
help me to validate it on ZX box? Thanks. If it is OK with ZX Box, we can use 
this one as generic configuration file for all IA64 machine.
                Best wishes! 
        Thanks

I support the patch but I think it should be accepted
and committed by someone in Cambridge or Xensource because
it affects important common (and Xen/x86) build files.
Try resubmitting it to xen-devel.

However, I think the best answer is to figure out what's
wrong in the generic config file and fix that.
