Hi,

I have compiled Xen and Jeremy's linux-2.6-pvops.git kernel, branch 
"xen/stable-2.6.33.x". This branch uses the wrong gntdev name though, Xen 
says:

xen be core: xen be core: can't open gnttab device

With the following patch Xen works:

diff --git a/drivers/xen/gntdev.c b/drivers/xen/gntdev.c
index ddc59cc..1bd01d4 100644
--- a/drivers/xen/gntdev.c
+++ b/drivers/xen/gntdev.c
@@ -594,7 +594,7 @@ static const struct file_operations gntdev_fops = {
 
 static struct miscdevice gntdev_miscdev = {
        .minor        = MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR,
-       .name         = "gntdev",
+       .name         = "xen/gntdev",
        .fops         = &gntdev_fops,
 };
 

regards,
  Michael
