RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] [Fedora-ia64-list] FC6 Test3 Xen test result

Hi, Yongkang

I have a small mistake.

Please try the following configuration.
    kernel = "vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2630.fc6xen"
    ramdisk = "initrd-2.6.17-1.2630.fc6xenU.img"
    memory = 512
    name = "domU"
    vif = [ '' ]
    disk = [ 'file:/xen/image/fc6.root.img,sda1,w' ] <----this
    root = "/dev/sda1 ro" <--------this
    extra = "3 ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe ide3=noprobe" <---
-this

Best Regards,

Akio Takebe
