The message below mentions an earlier post about moving from 2.6.18 to
2.6.18-8.  I searched the archives and was unable to find the earlier post.
Does anyone know where I can find that post and/or the instructions on how
to change the kernel version that xen uses?

Thanks!

This is not easy, so it's not a dumb question as such. 

There was a discussion a few weeks back about moving from 2.6.18 to
2.6.18-8, which you should be able to find in the archive on
www.xensource.com (under community, mailing lists, Xen Users [Archive]
or something like that). 

It explains the steps necessary to change the kernel version that Xen
uses. I doubt that a 2.6.18 -> 2.6.20 is as trivial as 2.6 .18 to ...-8
is tho', you'll probably have to do more than remove one patch and fix
one "removed" variable.
