Do you also have a patch to update the boot protocol?


Looking for anything different than the root of this thread?

Yes, the patch for the Xen domain builder to boot a bzImage using the Linux boot protocol rather than the Xen one. Ian's patch will extract the ELF file from the bzImage, but still boot it by finding the Xen entrypoint in the notes, with %esi pointing to the Xen start_info rather than the boot_params (unless I'm missing something).
