Re: [Xen-users] Rebased patch set xen-patches-2.6.32-1.tar.bz2

[Luís Silva <luis.silva@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello again,

I haven't applied Fajar's patch, but I'm trying again this time with kernel 2.6.32.11. It is still building, but the problem seems to have gone away. I found a commit in 2.6.32 changelog that seems to be the source of my problems (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.32.y.git;a=commit;h=a7b480e7f30b3813353ec009f10f2ac7a6669f3b)... 

Any suggestions on how to patch this problem away?

Thanks,
Luís Silva
