The domain builder patches are available from http://www.suse.de/~kraxel/patches/ It includes a new elf parser which switches elfsize and endianess at runtime and should be able to parse any kernel binary. Feel free to play with it. Note that ia64 is compile-tested only so far, so you might run into bugs even with little-endian domains. cheers, Gerd -- Gerd Hoffmann http://www.suse.de/~kraxel/julika-dora.jpeg
