Hello,

Thanks !

This makes clear things a bit. 

However, I had grepped under the linux-2.6-xen-sparse tree and 
saw only one occurrence of  BOOT_CS , in that
linux-2.6-xen-sparse/include/asm-xen/asm-i386/segment.h.

I had also grepped under the "xen" (hypervisor) subtree and did not 
find and also under linux-2.6.12-xen0/arch/xen and did not find any
occurrence of  BOOT_CS.

(There is of course in linux-2.6.12-xen0/arch/xen/i386/boot/setup.S , 
but this seems unrelevant in our case).

I am probably missing something;
 Any ideas ? 

Regards,
John
