I just did make install-tools and it didn't change anything. I don't know if I was supposed to do something else for it to take action.

I am trying to do just make install-tools on the second machine just to see if it will change something.

I will do that afterwards might just as well finish since it's been running for quite a while...

Won't be forgetting to do the initrd, thank you for reminder. Already got trapped previously but the PC was right next to me so it wasn't so bad.

Thanks !

Sorry.

By XenLinux I mean the Xen-aware Linux you're booting on top of Xen.

If you're only installing the tools, as I suggested, you only actually need to
do make tools; make install-tools, which should be much faster.  If you just
do "make world" it'll build Xen and the XenLinux, which will take ages and
you already have those.

I hope you don't win that prize :-)
