XEN/IA64 VHPT support

[Dong, Eddie]

Dan:
	I may miss something in the source code, because I find the code
for long format VHPT is there, but I didn't find any place to put entry
into LVHPT. 
Thanks,Eddie

You are correct.  Finishing the VHPT is on the "to do" list that
I posted on xen-devel on Dec20.  I put in some basic structure
but decided to focus on base functionality rather than performance
for the alpha release.  I believe that not only is the code missing
for inserting an entry, but also for soft-walking the LVHPT if the
hardware walker misses.

Since this is probably a huge performance impact, it would be
a valuable contribution to add this code if you are interested.
There was a Linux/ia64 patch to support LVHPT posted to the
linux-ia64 mailing list a few months ago (from Australia if
I recall) and I was going to look at that to see if there
was code that could be leveraged/reused.  I also have some
code from a previous project that I was going to dig up.

If you decide to work on this, please keep in touch so that
effort is not duplicated.

Thanks,
Dan Magenheimer

Xen and fedora core 3.

[Perry Couprie]

Hi,
i am trying to install xen on Fedora core 3.
The kernel boots, and it does mount the root file system.
And the it can't find a console.
Is this a fedora core 3 problem and what is a possible solution.

Greeting Perry.

I had the same problem and resolved it by adding an 'initrd' line to my 
grub config file, like this:
 
module /boot/initrd-2.6.9-xen0.img

Re: Xen and fedora core 3.

The problem you are running into is a problem with Fedora Core 3 and
udev. It's not a Xen specific issue.  This thread on the Fedora-devel
mailing list gives a solution:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-
January/msg00021.html

I haven't had time to try it yet, but I am going to try and get it going
today. I'll let you know if it works.
