David Stone wrote: Hi, I'm trying to make sure I understand if and how Xen is supported in various Linux kernel distributions. Could someone tell me which of the following are right or wrong? - Xen has only patched kernels up to 2.6.18 with Xen support. - However, some Linux distributions may have patched later kernels with Xen support. For instance when I install Fedora 7 with Xen support, I notice the xenified Dom0 kernel that is used, as well as any DomU kernels creatd by virt-manager, are 2.6.20. - But, as of 2.6.23, Xen support has been upstreamed into the vanilla Linux kernel. So theoretically it will no longer be necessary for Xen to maintain a fork of the Linux kernel and integrate the Linux kernel build with the Xen build? Afaik, the Xen parts in vanilla are only for domU. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
