RE: [Xen-devel] Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] VTI Windows installationandbooting HowTo
Hi Alex,
The whole environments I used are:
-------------------------
MT: disabled
Xen0: UP
Comment " *** serial=''pty'' *** " in the config file
(very important!)
GFW: Flash.fd.2006.12.01
VTI Network: close (this may not be necessary, but I guess it may make
installation faster)
-------------------------
Maybe you can do a compare with your settings.
Thanks,
Zhangjingke
