Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Kernel 2.4?
Xen 2.0.x supports/ed the 2.4 kernel, but the current one doesn't.
 
I guess you could run a HVM guest (unmodified source) on a VT/SVM machine, but I doubt that this is what you're after.
 
As to why 2.4 isn't supported, I'll let someone else answer that...

Subject: [Xen-devel] Kernel 2.4?

I am porting OpenMosix on top of Xen. However, the stable release of openMosix is based on Linux Kernel 2.4(They are trying to port it to kernel 2.6).

 

So, how can I create Linux Kernel 2.4 (i.e., Fedora 1) guest OS on top of CentOS 4.3?

 

I wonder why Xen didn't support the lower kernel version such as 2.4 kernel. There is some open sources based on kernel 2.4.

 

Thanks for your help in advance!
