Re: [Xense-devel] [Q] about ACM/IA64 status

Hello Atsushi,

thank you for your interest.

We aim to support with the ACM all Xen
platforms, including IA64, as soon as possible. The place where I know
that  we must check the architecture is the place you are correclty
pointing out: where the ACM reads the security policy at boot time from
the memory (where grub has placed it).  The access/address translation
to this memory region is architecture dependent.

We will put this support item high up
on our list of essential items to fix. Until we are able to add this support,
you might get around this problem by loading the security policy manually
after the boot instead of configuring a boot policy (using 'xm loadpolicy').
I currently work on I386 platforms and I would be interested if this the
only dependency on IA64 and if this work-around succeeds (compilation and
run-time).

This is a pretty active time and we
are constantly working to complete the coverage of the ACM (resources and
network, architecture support). Feedback, such as yours,  is of great
value to us!

Kindest Regards
Reiner
