This is not needed.

Right, this is the workaround to get the root on hdd1 instead of
/dev/ram0, which you said doesn't work for vmx.

PY> 14_create_blockroot  14        64    0      1  r-----     53.3
PY> It seems that block device has been working!

Actually, this is a test that tests using a block device for root, not
related to vmx compatibility :)

PY> But the test result is failure in "xm create", and reason is

Have you tried restarting your system?  There is a bit of a problem
with the console driver that causes this to happen sometimes.

You should do this:

  # TEST_VERBOSE=1 make check

and then grab the "xm create" line and try to run it manually with
"-c" to see if it's booting the domain properly.

PY> (2)"xm console" does not support VMX now. We could not get console
PY> information.

If this is the case, then a lot of work will need to be done to get
xm-test working for VMX testing :)

Yes, this is the problem. Luckily, Xiaofeng has just sent out a patch to enable 
"xm console" for VMX :-)
