Hi, Aron and Prarit
Thank you for your explanation.
I confused bacause there are some tree.
But I'm clear now. Thanks again.
I'll work on http://hg.et.redhat.com/kernel/linux-2.6-xen-fedora
by using BZ 199684 patch.
I have two other question.
Where from is the above tree? xen-unstable? xen-ia64-unstble?
And which cset is the above tree base on?
I don't know which xen I should use.
Best Regards,
Akio Takebe
