Re: [Xen-devel] Please help on Xen installation

[Ning Wu <ningwu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Keir. The noroot works great. I found the problem and it's very
stupid. I didn't update the root partition information to /dev/hda2 after
I copied the grub entry. Everything seems working fine. Yahoo! Although I
haven't built any other domains yet.

There are a few lines I don't know if I can safely ignore them when
machine booted. Such as,
ioctl 80041272 not supported by xl_block
ioperm not fully supported - ignore resource release

And since my NIC ne2000 is not supported yet, is the dummy interface
all I need if I don't want to access other hosts? In other words, only
exchange information among domains.

Finally, I don't know where I can download the latest code for xenolinux
so I downloaded your pre-built version. The bitkeeper repository is only
for the hypervisor.

Thanks and regards,

Ning
