Hello,

I installed Gentoo 2007.0 from fresh, and then use #emerge xen to get
2.6.20-xen-r6 kernel, which I'm using. I tried with and without mactel
patches (I'm using Core 2 Duo Macbook), I made no other change to kernel
sources downloaded from gentoo ebuild. Xen is 3.1.2 version.

I can get it working with [phy:...] and [file:...], but no luck with
[tap:aio:...]

Thanks,

Ignacio.
