hello gatelings,
If you never Install(1) glom kernels then you can stop reading here.
If you never do any testing using HVM domUs with xvm then you
probably should, but until you do you can stop reading here.
With the following putback:
6683029 Install -G and i86hvm don't mix well
i86hvm has been made into an implementation of i86pc. (similar to
how ontario is an implementation of sun4v, or enchilada is an
implementation of sun4u.)
If you Install(1) glom kernels in an i86hvm environment then you'll
need to specify the target implementation when running Install(1) via
the -i flag. for example:
Install -G kernel.foo -k i86pc -i i86hvm
if you don't use the '-i' flag then you won't get any i86hvm specific
modules included in your glom kernel, which will break things like
networking.
if you are developing new modules for use on i86hvm platforms then
pleas make sure to put them in:
usr/src/uts/i86pc/i86hvm
thanks
ed
