Keir,
This would also be appropriate for 3.1.0, since the /usr/lib fix makes
pygrub work on ia64
Presently pygrub only looks in /efi/redhat/elilo.conf. It should
check for other distributions, plus a couple fallback locations.

If it can be done, that certainly sounds like less maintenance.

You could do it, but you''d have to add new code to every FS backend, so it wouldn''t be fun. regards john _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
