Amos, thanks for the recipes. I've been able to get some initramfs functionality working using them, and I was able to netboot it. > I assume that you want to build an initramfs necessary and sufficient to > run xend and launch a domU, so in the following I describe one technique I want to do two things with the initramfs: 1. Run xend as you suggest 2. Boot a utility image to set some things up for a later boot (flash SLOF, configure HBA/SAN settings). This does not require xend running. I'll post a followup if I get xend working from an initramfs. Thanks again. David Daly Research Staff Member 32-003 IBM T.J.
