Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] compilation xen unstable on a ia64 debian

[Peter Van Biesen <peter.vanbiesen@xxxxxxx>]

The build worked perfectly. However, now I'm not sure the kernel is configured 
in the same way the debian kernel was and I suppose misses some patches that 
were in the debian kernel.

Do you know if the debian community is working on a stock xen kernel for 
ia64 ?

Thanks,

Peter.
