Hi Zhang,

Thank you for your infomation.

>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".
Yes. I don't use dist/install/vmlinuz-2.6.12.6-xen0xen.
I use linux-2.6.12-xen0/vmlinux.

I did as follows. :)

1. make xen
2. make kernels
3. cp xen/xen.gz /boot/efi/efi/xen/
4. cp linux-2.6.12-xen0/vmlinux /boot/efi/efi/xen/vmlinux-2.6.12-xen0
5. cd linux-2.6.12-xen0
6. make modules_install
7. mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/xen/initrd-2.6.12-xen0.img 2.6.12.6-xen0xen
8. reboot and boot with xlilo

Best Regards,

Akio Takebe
