Xen users - Oct 2010 - XCP - source code for loader in /opt/xensource/packages/files/guest-installer/

Good day. 

I trying to look to source code for sbin/loader in 

/opt/xensource/packages/files/guest-installer/el5.4-initrd-additions.cpio

but unable to find it on source-1.iso. (May be I just search in wrong
places).

Where it source can be found?

Hi George,

That''s a slightly odd part of the build. What''s going on here
is that the ''loader'' file comes from the anaconda RPM, and has
to be there because we''ve fixed an issue with recognising xen block
devices. Now, I don''t believe we provide a patched SRPM for anaconda.
But it turns out that''s just because we''ve been lazy rather
than we''re hiding any code. ''loader'' is part of
anaconda, but the change is in a staticly linked library provided by kudzu.
Probably what we should have done is explicitly produce a new anaconda SRPM with
a buildrequires line that mentions the required version of kudzu. But we
haven''t - yet.

So, to build this file, you''ll need to install the patched kudzu rpm,
then get the standard anaconda SRPM from the RHEL repositories, and rebuild
that.

I haven''t actually tried this myself, but I''m assured this is
how it works :-)

Cheers,

Jon
