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

["Zhang, Xiantao" <xiantao.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Akio: 
Please make sure your vmlinux-2.6.12-xen0 from 
.../xen-ia64-unstable.hg/linux-2.6.12-xen0/vmlinux , not 
".../xen-ia64-unstable.hg/dist/install/vmlinux-2.6.12-xen0".
Because  vmlinux is uncompressed and vmlinux-2.6.12-xen0 from dist directory is 
compressed in despite of its no .gz end.

Hi Fred,

I used the following file.
I should use uncompressed linux kernel, shouldn't I?

# file /boot/efi/efi/xen/vmlinux-2.6.12-xen0 
/boot/efi/efi/xen/vmlinux-2.6.12-xen0: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, IA-64, 
version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped

Best Regards,

Akio Takebe
