RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] RE: DomU can progress to xen_init from serialoutput

["Tian, Kevin" <kevin.tian@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Dan,
        With the attached patch, I can boot domU again on a bit old repository 
which was pulled one week ago. However after pulling the latest tip from 
xen-ia64-unstable.hg, I can't even "xm create" successfully with phenomenon 
that "xm create" doesn't return blocking in createDevices (Python) and only way 
is to kill that thread. I sent out a mail to xen-devel for possible suggestions.

        However, I think domU code should be ready now based on this patch. The 
rest is mainly related to the environmental setup issue. ;-)

Thanks,
Kevin
