> The executive summary is: Xen does not let a kernel boot itself, because mimicking bare hardware is too tedious (and pointless.) Instead, Xen instantiates an instance of a kernel into the Xen environment. To do this instantiation, Xen does its own decompression, so Xen must know everything about the compression. I know you're right. But that sound stupid to me: The kernel itself has routines built-in for decompression. Why isn't it enough to let Xen use the same routines for decompression as the kernel? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
