Re: [Xen-users] Gentoo on HP DL380 G6

[Olaf Krause <krause@xxxxxxx>]

Thank you for that hint - i will give it a try.

But still - Gentoo would be great, because the i have a very comfortable 
and stable Dom0 Linux-image here - only a proper kernel is missing.
i'am not sticky to the linux-2.6.32-xen-r1 sources - it was just the 
latest kernel source package available, when i noticed, that the 
linux-2.6.29-xen-r4 sources i used previously did not work. i thought: 
new hardware may require new a kernel and new drivers.
