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.

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
