[Xen-devel] Guest OS boots up slowly

[Masaki Kanno <kanno.masaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I tested the latest xen-unstable (changeset: 20128) and the latest 
linux-2.6.18-xen (changeset: 931).  A guest OS is booted up slower 
than before.  And the following messages are shown by the guest OS.

Switching to new root and running init.
unmounting old /dev
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys

  **          install a 'xen-friendly' (nosegneg) version of   **

FYI, when I reverted changeset 20122 of xen-unstable, the guest OS 
is booted up as before.

Best regards,
 Kan
