There's not a 2.4 kernel patch for Xen3 at the moment - it proved too much work to maintain the 2.4 patch during churn in the rest of the tree, and so the code is out of date. It shouldn't be *too* much work for a kernel hacker to bring it back up to date, so it might reappear in the future.

You could either use Xen2, which doesn't get updates / fixes very often but does have Linux 2.4 support. Or you could try and get your distro running with 2.6.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi all,

Is it possible to setup a linux distro (like CentOS 3, RHEL 3) based on 2.4 kernel under Xen 3 based host? Where I can find howto,docs,etc to accomplish this?

Thanks.
