Thanks Germano,

I'm running latest master branch taken from here:

git clone git://github.com/xenserver/buildroot.git

as per:
https://github.com/xenserver/buildroot

If you could recommend me any good working branch I might be keen to try it.

btw. slightly off topic...
I've to admit that during last days I've run into so many issues that
almost gave up using Xen. But on the other hand I'm not sure if KVM is any
better.
For contrary, VirtualBox even if is headed towards desktop user, for couple
of VMs as I need at the moment could be a better solution for me... It's
sad to get to such conclusions, but given the time I've spent
troubleshooting and running from issue to issue... It makes me thinking Xen
is more in beta stage than real production one.

Regards,
Dawid
