RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] Open Guest Firmware/IPF test report

["Yang, Fred" <fred.yang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Community,

Please also validate the OpenGFW accordingly.  We would like to have
this OpenGFW as IA64/Xen standard GFW and push to OSV ASAP.

Thanks,
-Fred

>2. Each system component under observation can be correctly recognized
and setup
>by OS with expected information and the basic functionalities are
achieved.
