I think MOVSX is the first extension you''ve applied that isn''t currently supported by x86_emulate.c; the other numerous decoder extensions could have been avoided by using the emulator that already existed in Xen. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
