Hi, Aron and Prarit Thank you for your explanation. I confused bacause there are some tree. But I'm clear now. Thanks again. I'll work on http://hg.et.redhat.com/kernel/linux-2.6-xen-fedora by using BZ 199684 patch. I have two other question. Where from is the above tree? xen-unstable? xen-ia64-unstble? And which cset is the above tree base on? I don't know which xen I should use.
