I'm working on upgrading to xen 4.

I'm wondering what kernel to use.

The 3 I'm thinking of are:

the xen 2.6.18 kernel

The 2.6.31 get kernel built from xen 4.0 source.

The debian lenny  backports 2.6.32 xen kernel. ( I'm running debian lenny)

I have been having some problems with 2.6.18 on newer hardware so prefer one
of the newer kernels unless there is a good reason.

The Backports kernel is the easy one. Always like that :-)

Are there any particular flaws or missing features in any of  these kernels?

John
