Welcome!

I also recently came into the Xen developement.  Xen-ia64 is very beta, and 
running it is not easy at the first time.

Here are a few items (please correct if I am wrong):
* You should select the bvt scheduler (in elilo.conf append="XXX sched=bvt 
YYY").  The default scheduler SEDF might work, but it is not as stable as 
bvt.

* You should use nomca and nointroute options for linux (in elilo.conf 
append="XXXX -- nomca nointroute"

* Xen do not compile with gcc 4.  I hope to fix many issues soon.

* Currently domain creation is broken.  You can only use domain0.

* If you are using a Montecito, please use the latest dev elilo, which flush 
the cache.

Do not hesitate to ask questions here.  I would have planned to write an howto 
install Xen-ia64, but I had not time and things change everyday!

Tristan.
