From 204c7a873fbe1ac62a61c93babb858635dfe9c3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 10:24:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs: EFI configuration file must be ASCII type Currently Xen can only read the configuration file if it is in ASCII format. If it is in CHAR16 or CHAR8 it will choke. One way to verify this is to use 'file': xen.cfg: ASCII text xen-char16.cfg: Little-endian UTF-16 Unicode text, with CRLF, CR line terminators The latter is no good.
