We need to forward port the 2.6.17 ia64 xen code to 2.6.18. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #199683 +++ With the submission of the 2.6.17 xen ia64 code, we should be able to enable xen on ia64 kernels. -- Additional comment from prarit on 2006-07-21 08:43 EST -- Created an attachment (id=132800) patch to enable xen ia64 kernel

With the above patch, non-xen kernels seem fine. I'm running lmbench, lsb, and ltp tests now. Xen kernels, however, do not boot. :( P.

Juan applied kernel mods, we're still waiting on spec mods to be applied
*** Bug 200991 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Since the xen kernel has been in the ia64 builds for the past couple weeks, I think this bug can be closed...
Is there another bug tracking progress toward actually being able to boot the xen kernels on ia64?
(In reply to comment #11) > Is there another bug tracking progress toward actually being able to boot the > xen kernels on ia64? xen/ia64 boots on Fedora now. There are some individual bugs that I intend to file today, plus a meta-bug to track them all. I'll update this bug with a pointer when that happens.
Ah, okay. PM and QE would like a RHEL5-specific bug to track this as well. I was about to clone this one for that purpose, and can still do so if you like, but if you've already got one lined up, I can wait.
Jarod, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=xen-ia64 I'll be adding bugs to that as I file them. Right now only the most critical one is represented.
