RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] Progress on RHEL4, but blocked at xlilo?

Hi Dan, Fred and Anthony,

Thank you for your adivece.
As you say, I used the following config file.
But I couldn't boot.

------------
prompt
timeout=20
default=xen
relocatable

image=vmlinux-2.6.12-xen0
        label=xen
        vmm=xen.gz
        initrd=initrd-2.6.12-xen0.img
        read-only
        append="com2=115200,8n1 console=com2 sched=bvt -- nomca nosmp 
console=tty0 rhgb root=/dev/sda2"
------------

I suspect registrations of SCSI drivers and so on.
I used vmlinux included "mptscsih and mptbase" now. 
Should I use a initrd included "mptscsih and mptbase" 
and a vmlinux not included these?

I will check the buffer of kernel_read() by using more printk(). :-)

Best Regards,

Akio Takebe
