Hello all,

I'm trying to get my servers to work with Xen, but as I use sata2, it
looks like only a recent kernel will do the job. But unferotunately,
ony and official 2.6.8 is provided, which doesn't boot at all on
those machines.
I've tried ubuntu's 2.6.22-xen, but ti looks very buggy. Where could
we find patches for 2.6.22/23 to add Xen?
How could I gete a recent kernel with Xen?
Thanks for any suggestion tht could help!
Regards,

Gentoo has 2.6.20 as current xen kernel in portage.

There are problems for some amd64 users, including me, with this kernel
on gentoo. I mean less than <2.6.22.
Hard disks and thus whole system performance just sucks when there are
significant I/O load (for example creating large files with dd).
There is a huge thread about it :
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-482731-highlight-.html and this is
not related with xen but in linux >2.6.18 kernels in general. Something
related to cfs scheduling.
So for production Gentoo is useless for certain amd64 users on certain
hardware at least while there will be available newer >=2.6.22 xen
kernel sources.
Redhat and Centos how to managed that they do not suffer from this
issue. CFS patches?
I tried to setup Fedora Core7 for my dom0, but it seems to me VERY
unstable on my hardware. (several random network losses and even system
crashes within 2 weeks).
I installed Centos5 with older kernel 2.18 and older xen 3.0.x. My sata2
drives performs well and system is stable - this seems to be the only
solution for production for me now.
