Re: [kvm-ia64-devel] guest kernel compilation

[Akio T. <tak...@jp...>]

Hi, Jes

I could boot RHEL5.1 kernel on kvm-ia64.
I don't try a latest kernel yet.
But I guess it is caused by some unimplemented PAL calls.
Latest Linux kernel may use some additional PAL calls
than older Linux kernel at booting. KVM-ia64 uses old xen codes,
so some PAL calls is not implemented yet.
Currenlt xen-ia64 supports more PAL calls,
it would be easy to port them to kvm-ia64.
If kvm-ia64 git tree is opened, I'll work for it.

Best Regards,

Akio Takebe
