I'd want to add my "Thanks!" to all that contributed to
getting this far in such a short period of time.

Subject: fedora-xen-ia64 kernel integration!
Good news: Yesterday the xen-ia64 changes to kernel-2.6.spec were
applied to Fedora kernel cvs, and last night
kernel-xen-2.6.17-1.2488.fc6.ia64.rpm was included in the Fedora Rawhide
for the first time!
Great news: The rpms have worked (full boot to dom0) on at least one
machine so far. :-)
While there remains work to be done prior to FC6 release, these are
major hurdles overcome and represent the culmination of lots of work by
many people. Thanks especially to:
- Xiantao Zhang, Anil Keshavamurthy, Fenghua Yu and the rest of
the team at Intel, especially for testing and development early
in the project.
- Akio Takebe at Fujitsu for testing and providing critical
patches to make the 2.6.18 forward port build.
- Prarit Bhargava at Red Hat for continually providing
a communication channel between RH and the ia64 engineers, as
well as providing assistance building, testing and patching.
- Juan Quintela, Chris Wright and Dave Jones at Red Hat for
helping us get xen-ia64 patches into the right places.
- Jeremy Katz at Red Hat for taking the mkinitrd/grubby patches
early, which helped pave the way for the kernel mods.
- Isaku Yamahata and Tristan Gingold for putting so much work into
bringing xen-ia64-unstable to its current functional state, and
Alex Williamson and the rest of the xen-ia64-devel crew for
providing lots of patches, especially removing the mkbuildtree
scripts which were a showstopper for Fedora inclusion!
- Ron Pacheco, Dave Cardos, Fred Yang and Wilfred Yu for working
out schedules and covering the mgmt aspects.
As I said earlier, there's still work to do, but inclusion of these
patches was the major hurdle. At this point it boils down to testing
and bug reports, rather than a major feature request, so it seems an
appropriate time to send out this message. :-)
Thanks everybody!
Regards,
Aron
