I would like to know how to build them with newer kernels. Its a serious amount of work to port Xen to newer kernels... We do this all the time for Fedora, since we need to track current upstream kernels. For Fedora Core 6, we've got Xen 3.0.3 kernels based on 2.6.18 and 2.6.19, while for Fedora 7 test1 we've got Xen 3.0.4 kernels based on 2.6.18 and 2.6.19. By the time Fedora 7 is GA, we hope to have Xen 3.0.4 on 2.6.20 finished too. The source RPMs for any release kernels are on our download site. Juan also makes his Mercurial trees available http://hg.et.redhat.com/kernel/ NB, although shown there, the 2.6.20 based trees are not ready yet - those are just two staging repos, so ignore them. The 2.6.18/19 kernels should be in good shape. The main issue is that these trees don't get fed through the regression test harness like the xen-unstable.hg tree does. Then again, the Fedora kernels have a huge real world userbase. Also, xen-unstable.hg itself was finally upgraded to 2.6.18 so the next 3.0.5 release will be much closer to current upstream, although it'd be nice to see it go all the way to 2.6.20 and then actively track each new upstream stable release.

Xen dev's -- Just curious, what are the chances that we will see Xen 3.0.5 released with an upgrade to 2.6.20, now that 2.6.20 is finally out? It would be great to be able to support a newer kernel for those of us that are using RedHat Cluster. :) It'd also mean I could run Xen on my laptop, since it's fairly bleeding-edge and needs some bits from 2.6.20 to run properly. *grin* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | nate carlson | natecars@natecarlson.com | http://www.natecarlson.com | | depriving some poor village of its idiot since 1981 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I can only wonder if it was Xen that got fixed, or fixes in Linux kernel? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
