[Xen-ia64-devel] xend: Better support for legacy HVM config of ia64
Hi, On ia64, direct Linux boot is not supported, and ''Flash.fd'' or ''guest_firmware.bin'' has been used as a value of the ''kernel'' option. Cset:17016 ignores those strings and overrides them with "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader". We tested on x86_64 and ia64 with old and new configs.

Would you ever want to keep the ''PV_kernel'' option when it doesn''t contain the string ''hvmloader''? -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Let me know if it doesn''t do what you require. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
