Topic
A new xen-ia64-guest-firmware package which adds emulated NVRAM support is
now available.
Description
The xen-ia64-guest-firmware package provides fully-virtualized ia64 xen
guests with virtual EFI firmware, required for booting a fully-virtualized
guest.
This update includes support for emulated NVRAM support, which makes
fully-virtualized ia64 xen guests behave more like a bare-metal ia64 system
with respect to boot configuration.
All ia64 xen users are advised to install this enhanced package.
