[Xen-users] Init ramdisk image in Xen 3.1.0 binary
Hi, I am trying to install and boot the binary release of Xen 3.1.0. Since all device drivers are in modules, an init ramdisk is needed: is it supposed to be in the binary distribution, or do I have to create it by hand? Maybe a silly question, but it is absolutely not clear whether the ramdisk image would be included with binary distribution (as I downloaded it on May 19, it was not there), or should it be created manually. Thanks. -- Dimitry Golubovsky Anywhere on the Web _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
