Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] Mini-OS on ia64

[Dietmar Hahn <dietmar.hahn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Alex,

it took a long time, but now it's going on. I got managed the re-architecture 
of the x86 part of mini-os.
Please can you update the extras/mini-os directory in the ia64-xen tree from 
the x86-xen tree! Then I'll be able to send a first patch with the ia64 
extensions for mini-os.
Thanks.

Dietmar.
