Just made a comparison between xenU_defconfig_x86_32 and xen0_defconfig_x86_32. It seems that whole "Character devices" category is de-selected, which should have the effect to disable CONFIG_VT for xenU.

I tried changing all the config options in that category from =y to =n and make oldconfig just returns them to =y. Does removing the lines altogether have a different result?

Actually what confusing me is how to support different configuration file copied to xen0_defconfig_ia64 automatically when build. Current xen0_defconfig_ia64 is based on zx box configuration, and I have to copy one for tiger manually to override that file before build. However I didn't find easy way to pass into such machvec information and let it automate. Can anyone help with an idea?

I've been thinking that linux/arch/ia64/defconfig might work for both HP and tiger4, but since it uses many modules, I have been waiting to try it until the boot-dom0-with-initrd works (RHEL4).

Perhaps just changing all the =m to =y in linux/arch/ia64/defconfig will work for a xen0_defconfig_ia64 for both HP and tiger4?
