Hi, Aron
Which distro do you use on your rpmbuild system?
Fedora5-ia64? or RHEL4?
Cannot we completely make fedora-xen-ia64 yet?
I had the following error. Did I have mistakes?

So I do the following step.
Is this step the same as yours?
1. make rpm of kernel (as-is Anil's step)
> hg clone http://free.linux.hp.com/~agriffis/fedora-kernel-ia64
> cd fedora-kernel-ia64
> mkdir -p BUILD RPMS/ia64
> source bashrc-snippet # might want this in your ~/.bashrc
> cd SPECS
> rpmbuild -ba kernel-2.6.spec
2. make xen
# rpmbuild -bp xen.spec
# cd ../BUILD/xen-unstable.hg/
# make xen
# make tools
# make install-tools
# cp xen/xen.gz /boot/efi/efi/redhat/
