Re: [Xen-users] Re: Custom DomU kernel
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply - what would a lot of hard work
imply? Having this configuration and the RHAS image running was quite a lot of
hard work as well, so I'm not scared :)
Figuring out how to apply the patches developed by Xen for 2.6 onto a 2.4
kernel, and fix any problems that arise from the fact that the 2.4 kernel is
different from 2.6, so you may need patches in different places than they are
for 2.6. The xen 2.0 hypervisor has patches for Linux 2.4 kernels, so you may be
able to get an idea of how it works from that - but the Xen 2.0 hypervisor is
different from 3.0 in several aspects, which would mean that the patches need to
be different - so if you compare the 3.0 patches for 2.6 and 2.0 patches for
2.6, you'd see how different (and I haven't done this) the patches are for the
different Xen versions. Based on that, you should be able to determine what the
work needed for 2.4 is... But since there hasn't been any announcement of such a
patch being available, I suspect it's not trivial...

Right - sounds like fun. What if I use Xen 2 on my 2.6 kernel in place of Xen 3? Would that even be possible?
