RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] RFC: Switch to xlilo now? Or post-3.0?

Hi Akio --

Thanks very much!

Are you using -sparse/arch/xen/configs/xen0_defconfig_ia64 or installing
a different config file to build dom0?  I ask because xen0_defconfig_ia64
has no modules (no =m lines) and I am surprised that this works
for RHEL4.

Thanks,
Dan
