Yes, we will do this. Dan, if you (or someone else at IBM) could provide a
'known good' initrd, then we'll host that, and I'll synchronise with you so
that the patch to refer to that initrd goes in only once the initrd is in
place.
They will be placed into
http://xm-test.xensource.com/ramdisks/
Please make sure that xm-test will only fetch the initrd if it can't find one
locally, and will resume interrupted downloads rather than start again from
scratch. This will hopefully avoid our machines melting under the load!
Thanks,
Ewan.
