Re: [Xen-devel] What is the official source for the pvops kernel?

For right now there are two git trees. The official vaniall 2.6.38 which can:
- Boot Dom0
- Boot DomU
- Can boot PV and HVM guests with the latest xen-unstable.hg tree and the
latest QEMU (which has built-in backend drivers).
Are you saying I can use the standard 2.6.38 build as a Xen Dom0 kernel?
If not, could you explain this a little more.
The 2.6.38 in my
tree(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git) has
the things mentioned before, and then:
- Can be used with Xen 4.0 as it has now three backends: pciback, netback,
blkback.
- Can be be booted with Xorg (radeon and nouveau) if the card is PCIe.
- Has gntalloc allowing domain-to-domain pages to be shared.
- Lots of bug-fixes.
- And infrastructure add-ons (backend, P2M, M2P).
In short, it has all of the patches that just went in 2.6.39-rc0 and then some
more. For the details look on LKML for '[GIT PULL]' from me.
So if you want the "stable" one use the 2.6.32.32 that Jeremy just released.
I really wanted stable and tried the latest 2.6.32.XX from two weeks ago
but on every machine I've tried it, I got a kernel panic in xen_set_pte.
I wasn't sure what the root cause was (I upgraded from 3.X to 4.X Xen at
the same time) so I tried 2.6.38-rc7 to see if it was Xen or the kernel
and no longer got the panic, so continued with that kernel version.
I was under the impression that 2.6.38 would be a stable version, but
not it appears not. Is there a version later than 2.6.32 that I could
use a stable?
thanks,
Anthony.
