[Fedora-xen] FW: [IA64]We have successfully booteddom0/domU/domVTI (xen/ia64) on FC5

[Zhang, Xiantao]

    Currently the ext3 is compiled as module, however initrd doesn't work for domU even when we add "ramdisk=" in config file. So we change ext3 to be kernel built-in, and then domU can boot up immediately.
Thanks
