Hi Woody,

Yeah... sysfs is compiled into the 2.6 domU kernel, which we are
assuming is the kernel for the ramdisk. The HVM disk.img, which goes and
finds its own non-xen kernel, could be an issue - if the kernel it finds
doesn't compile in sysfs - such as an embedded kernel. I'm not sure this
really is an issue, however. Even if it shouldn't find sysfs to mount,
the image will still boot and still be able to run tests.

Is that ok?

Thanks,
Dan
