Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] Help? Red Hat fails, Suse/Debian both work fine

[Kouya SHIMURA <kouya@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI, after more investigation, the problem is related whether to use
initrd or not. On ia64, the memory area for initrd is not defined in
dom0's EFI memmap. Dom0 frees this area and reuses it with illegal
memory attribute. That is a reason why RedHat fails but Suse/Debian
works.

Thanks,
Kouya
