Yeah, patches are required that aren't yet in Rusty's queue. I'll update the list once we've gotten his queue straightened out. The oops is most certainly from the use of unsigned int in vring_init instead of unsigned long. I have a patch on virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org for that but I don't think Rusty's pulled it in yet. Regards, Anthony Liguori > Thanks, > Dor.
