I've done an install (but not yet booted) and have noted the
following...
I don't get an initrd and it looks like almost everything is compiled
in. Any chance of doing an almost-identical-to-debian build for dom0? My
mkinitrd complains that there is no LVM, and when I look at the .config,
LVM is compiled into the kernel.
Thanks
James
