[Xen-devel] xen4.1.1 and linux 3.1-rc4

["Jeff Mason" <J.Mason@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to compile/run xen/linux using xen4.1.1 and linux 3.1-rc4 as dom0.  These are the latest stable(*1, *2) releases as far as I can tell.  Most of the email/documentation imply that I should be using the 'jeremy' kernel but other email/docs imply that all of these fixes are now folded into Linux 3.1-rc4.

 

My question is:

 

Can I expect xen4.1.1 and linux 3.1-rc4 as DOM0 to work correctly?  My current problem is that xend fails to start up (hangs).  I get the RTNETLINK problem but all of the solutions I could find have been applied.

 

Thank you in advance

 

Jeff

 

*1) I tried xen4.1.2 but it failed with handle_irq_event_percpu error.  I could only find a patch that was appropriate for xen 4.1.1 and used it to remove the error.

*2) The newest 3.1-rc4 kernel would not run due to kernel bug 42412 about nouveau not working on older GEForce2 cards.  I got around this by putting 'nomodeset' on the linux boot command line.
