Could you remind F12 rawhide location on the Net for --location key for virt-install
command line to test on 64-bit .
Thanks.
Boris.

I actually already 'ported' the patch to Xen 3.4.1 and made sure it
compiles OK. I've included it (and extra gcc 4.4.0 compilefix) to this
email, and also sent them to xen-devel.
atm I'm trying to make the patch work/apply with Fedora xen-3.4.1-1 src.rpm ..
and sorting out some fedora/rpm specific compilation failure..
Here's updated patch that actually works. I added it to xen-3.4.1-1.src.rpm
and verified the resulting rpms are able to boot lzma compressed kernels.
It's still not final patch, since the stubdom/pvgrub bzip2/lzma support is
not yet included in this patch (until the proper method for Makefile hacks
is determined upstream).
