all of your emails need to be specifically approved.  Not a problem, but
just FYI.

	Hi Joe
	
	I have one more question. Simply installing Xen doesn't create
any tboot.gz so I had to download the tboot-20071128.tar.gz
<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/tboot/tboot-20071128.tar.gz?modtime=11
96353121&big_mirror=0>  and unzip it and run 'make -j8 world' ..it gives
me error.I ignored and went ahead and did 'make install'  and modified
the grub. Here is my grub output: 
	[JC]  There is a target called 'install-tboot' in the makefile
that will download, build, and install tboot.  It is not invoked as part
of any of the Xen targets, so you have to do it manually. 
	
	# grub.conf generated by anaconda
	#
	# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes
to this file
	# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
	#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/,
eg.
	#          root (hd0,0)
	#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2
	#          initrd /initrd-version.img
	#boot=/dev/sda
	default=0
	timeout=5
	splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub
	/splash.xpm.gz
	hiddenmenu
	
	serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --parity=no --stop=1
	terminal --timeout=10 serial console
	
	
	title Fedora (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)
	    root (hd0,0)
	    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
	    initrd /initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img
	
	
	title Fedora Core (Xen 3.2.0 with TXT)
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /xen.gz com1=115200,8n1 vtd=1 console=com1
	module /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen root=LABEL=/ ro console=tty0
	console=ttyS0,115200,8n1 pciback.hide=(01:00.0)
	pciback.verbose_request=1 acpi=debug pci=nommconf
	module /initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img
	
	module /sinit.bin
	
	
	After this is tried to boot into the 'Fedora Core (Xen 3.2.0
with TXT)' option but the system can't boot into this.Can you please
tell me if I am missing anything here? I would really appreciate it if
you can provide some light into this issue. Also I am new to
vitualization and TXT. Thanks 
	[JC]  From the README in tboot, here is an example grub.conf for
tboot:
	       title Xen 3.1.0 w/ Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology
	           root (hd0,1)
	           kernel /tboot.gz
	           module /xen.gz vtd=1 dom0_mem=524288 com1=115200,8n1
	           module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 ro
	           module /initrd-2.6.18-xen.img
	           module /BRLK_SINIT_20070910_release.BIN
	Yours is missing tboot.gz as the kernel.
