Thread-topic: [Xen-ia64-devel] RFC: Switch to xlilo now? Or post-3.0?
Takebe -- (Sorry, should I call you Akio or Takebe?)

Did you build and install from xen-ia64-unstable tip (cset 7734 or
greater)?

If so, could you again provide the recipe for building and installing
on RHEL4?  I would like to try again and some things have changed
(such as CONFIG_LOCALVERSION and the build process for domU) so I would
like to understand the exact steps you used successfully first.

Thank you!
Dan
