Re: [Xen-users] Re: domU configfile: libdir?

[Steve Allison <xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think what you want is a feature of Xen. Usually when you update 
the dom0 kernel, you need to update the  domU module directories with an 
identical copy. I'd do this by moutning the domU filesystem in the dom0 
and copying the files over.
Have you tried using pygrub? This gives para-virtualisation a new twist 
by giving the guest control over its own kernel, with no down sides as 
far as I can tell. It allows the guest to run its own unique kernel 
(read: doesn't need to be the same as dom0) and then each guest can 
truly act like a seperate machine.
