RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] [Fedora-ia64-list] FC6 Test3 Xen test result

Hi Akio,

Sorry for response late. It is very detailed instructions. :)
I found my initrd doesn't preload xenblk.ko. Then it failed to create root device.
Now I can create xenU too with your guide. Thank you so much. 
But did you notice xenU booting is a little slow? 

Best Regards,
Yongkang (Kangkang) 永康
