First of all, don't reply to other mails if you're not referring
to them - it messes up the threads displayed by MUAs that support
them.
Second, this question would have been more appropriate for

You didn't attach your configfile or even just quote the relevant
lines from it, so it's hard to guess what you're doing wrong.
Just to make sure - you do have both "xl" and "ep" in your
configfile? What errormessages do you get when booting ("dmesg")?

File a send-pr (see "man send-pr" or check out the handbook).
