[xenpreview-dev] bootargs warning/hang

[Charles Coffing]

I assume this was with a recent (within the last couple weeks) build off of XTP?  This sounds like a problem we have fixed.  Xend underwent many changes internally, which (long story short) caused domUloader hang.  The interaction between xend and domUloader has been simplified and fixed.  Changeset 13100 is working well; look for it in SLES 10 SP1 preview 2.

Lynn, we need to get the latest build up on XTP.  In fact, we're currently at 13129; perhaps we should put that up on XTP.
