Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Re; Dom0 Kernels ..

Yes, but I was looking for something with Intel 965GM support as everything else I had tried never worked properly under the 2.6.18 and 2.6.18.8 kernels supplied with the releases of xen 3.1 and 3.2 respectively.

Those worked for me so I was just relaying my results, it does look like development has stopped for those, or they are working on putting out the newest ones. But probably not haha.

Isn't it strange that all the kernel's listed over there have a last changeset more than 2/3 months all?

Hello,

 

I am running a 2.6.21 kernel with xen in dom0 and it has been rock solid. What I did was build Xen 3.2 with the default kernel (to get all the tools etc) then downloaded the mercurial source of a 2.6.21 kernel.

 

They can be found at http://hg.et.redhat.com/kernel-dev/ i used the ehabkost/linux-2.6.21-xen-3.1.0 kernel and it has worked really well.

 

When you are configuring the kernel ensure that you enable Xen support (it is one of the options in the Processor Type and Features heading) then scroll down to the bottom of the config subsections on the first page and a new XEN heading will be available. Enable Hypervisor Support (or it is something that will be similar I don't remember the exact wording).

 

I had to mess around with a few options before it started working right, my kernel has all the RAID and LVM stuff built in (no modules) and make sure that most SCSI stuff, USB controller stuff and AHCI is built in as a module.

 

Let me know how it goes, you might need to throw a few extra options while creating the ramdisk so if you run into problems... post em' :)

 

Best of Luck,

Tait

Hi,

I need some features from 2.6.19+ in my Dom0 .. is this an impossible task for the moment or does anyone have a stable kernel source tree more advanced thann 2.6.18.8 that I can access?

Ubuntu 2.6.22 is unstable .. pure source build 2.6.18.8 is great .. (with Xen3.2)

What I'd like is to source build a 2.6.xx where xx > 18 ... can anyone point me in the right direction ?

tia
Gareth.
