Hopefully tonight. Jeremy, I tried it out with the latest xen-unstable got from the homepage and patch with xen-booloader.patch. There are few "hunk". What xen-unstable version are you using? By the way, did you forget __init__.py in pygrub/src/ ? pygrub is a python package, and looks like we need it. At the moment compilation spit out an error "... __init__.py not found...". Quick fix: touch tools/pygrub/src/__init__.py then no more complain. regards, aq _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
