Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] MCA patches causing Xen to hang on sn2

Hi Jes,

For Xen boot option, you have to specify "nomca" in the left side of append 
line.
For Dom0 boot option, you have to specify "nomca" in the right side of append 
line.

Example:
 append="nomca com2=115200,8n1 console=com2 -- nomca console=tty0 
console=ttyS1,115200,8n1 rhgb root=/dev/sda2"
               <---- Xen boot options ----+    +---- Dom0 boot options ---->

If you cannot start up Xen/Dom0, please stop the salinfod in Dom0.
Nevertheless if you cannot start up Xen/Dom0, could you send the serial log to 
me?

Best regards,
 Kan
