Thank you very much Aron for these great news and for your sustained and efficient effort in making this happen. Jean-Paul <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <td>Aron Griffis <aron@hp.com> Envoyé par : fedora-ia64-list-bounces@redhat.com 01/08/2006 21:26 Veuillez répondre à ia64 Fedora Core Development <td> Pour : fedora-xen@redhat.com, fedora-ia64-list@redhat.com, xen-ia64-devel@lists.xensource.com cc : Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>, Ron Pacheco <rpacheco@redhat.com>, Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>, David Cardos <david.cardos@hp.com> Objet : [Fedora-ia64-list] fedora-xen-ia64 kernel integration!</table> Good news: Yesterday the xen-ia64 changes to kernel-2.6.spec were applied to Fedora kernel cvs, and last night kernel-xen-2.6.17-1.2488.fc6.ia64.rpm was included in the Fedora Rawhide for the first time! Great news: The rpms have worked (full boot to dom0) on at least one machine so far. :-) While there remains work to be done prior to FC6 release, these are major hurdles overcome and represent the culmination of lots of work by many people. Thanks especially to: - Xiantao Zhang, Anil Keshavamurthy, Fenghua Yu and the rest of the team at Intel, especially for testing and development early in the project. - Akio Takebe at Fujitsu for testing and providing critical patches to make the 2.6.18 forward port build. - Prarit Bhargava at Red Hat for continually providing a communication channel between RH and the ia64 engineers, as well as providing assistance building, testing and patching. - Juan Quintela, Chris Wright and Dave Jones at Red Hat for helping us get xen-ia64 patches into the right places. - Jeremy Katz at Red Hat for taking the mkinitrd/grubby patches early, which helped pave the way for the kernel mods. - Isaku Yamahata and Tristan Gingold for putting so much work into bringing xen-ia64-unstable to its current functional state, and Alex Williamson and the rest of the xen-ia64-devel crew for providing lots of patches, especially removing the mkbuildtree scripts which were a showstopper for Fedora inclusion! - Ron Pacheco, Dave Cardos, Fred Yang and Wilfred Yu for working out schedules and covering the mgmt aspects. As I said earlier, there's still work to do, but inclusion of these patches was the major hurdle. At this point it boils down to testing and bug reports, rather than a major feature request, so it seems an appropriate time to send out this message. :-) Thanks everybody!
