Thread-topic: Question: why pvops seldom build modules drivers
Jeremy,

Recently I install pvops/xen at a new platform, 
However, I meet troubles, it need manually enable&install some driver like Lsi 
scsi controller (to find root device which is a SAS disk connect to Lsi 
controller) & Intel 82576 nic to access network.
I check pvops .config, it seldom build module driver.
Just curious why pvops does so? it make trouble when install pvops at various 
platform ..., while at native linux it config most device driver as module.

Thanks,
Jinsong
