Amos, I tried, but it failed on my JS20 at the same point. I attach the boot log. (The message mpic.c is added by me to check that the modified version is actually used.) (See attached file: bootlog3.txt) Kiyokuni KAWACHIYA / IBM Tokyo Research Laboratory [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote

I took a look at the situation. It boils down to this: 1. In the internal Xen tree, there is a bug (my fault) in which firmware bootargs are overridden by the builtin xen bootarg. This is fixed (by Hollis) in the current public Xen tree. Thanks, I just checked it. 2. In the

Do we really need yaboot? (Just looking for a workaround...) Kawachiya cannot netboot for political reasons in his lab, so he actually installs Xen on his Local Disk. We should certainly support this booting model and so he is sorta stuck with a bootloader and yaboot is what we are all
