Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] xen.git branch reorg / crash with 2.6.30-rc3 pv_ops dom0
Are there any recommendation that which branch will work? I meet the same issue 
in the xen-tip/master tree.

BTW, has anyone tried the xen-tip/dom0/apic branch? It always complains unknow 
partition type on my system for sda, while the same image works quite well when 
running as native.


Thanks
Yunhong Jiang
