Thread-topic: [Xen-ia64-devel] Paravirtualized xenlinux/ia64 available
Hi, Dan,
        We tried latest xeno-unstable-ia64 bk tree on a para-virtualized
dom0 following your instructions. However it failed to find root fs on
ski:

VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(8,2)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(8,2)

        The bk info is:
  ChangeSet@xxxxxx, 2005-05-10 15:58:27-07:00, xen-ia64.adm@xxxxxxxxxx
  Merge bk://xen.bkbits.net/xeno-unstable.bk
  into  bkbits.net:/repos/x/xen-ia64/xeno-unstable-ia64.bk

        However we then tried previous binary-patched dom0 with code in
our trunk (VTI disabled), it can work to user prompt. This means the ski
environment still working well. 

        Do you ever see similar error on this revision? Maybe we missed
some important step or... ski environment needs some change? The command
to start ski is:
    "ski bootloader xen paralinux nomca simscsi=`pwd`/sd"

        Here paralinux is built upon
bk://xen-ia64.bkbits.net/xenlinux-ia64-2.6.11.bk.

        BTW, just saw a small bug in vcpu.c:
IA64FAULT vcpu_itc_d(VCPU *vcpu, UINT64
                ...
       if (((itir & ~0xfc) >> 2) < PAGE_SHIFT) {
Should be:
       if (((itir & 0xfc) >> 2) < PAGE_SHIFT) {

Thanks,
Kevin
