Re: [XenPPC] Re: Howto build the xen blob and zImage with init rd
The problem with the simulator was, ahem, operator error. To run a
blob, one must not load dom0, and although I had made these changes, I
failed to use the new tcl file.
Using the stripped linux image helped on hardware. Things are still not
quite working for me, but the problem seems to be that I am reading open
firmware garbage and is probably peculiar to the machine that I am using
or its specific configuration.

Well it works only in the sense that make completes with no errors

I'll adress the simulator issue in another mail, assuming the solution
below does not solve it :)

Enter 'install' to boot the installer, or 'install-safe' if you have

Enter "help" to get some basic usage information

Please wait, loading kernel...

Hollis reminds me that a full vmlinux may just be too big.
you need to strip vmlinux before you link it in.. so
$ powerpc64-linux-objcopy --strip-all vmlinux vmlinux.strip
the make DOM0_IMAGE point to vmlinux.strip
