RE: [Xen-users] XENified RH Kernel

[Max E Baro <MEB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Julius,

Unfortunate this does speed things up for me in that I can't use XEN for the application I need to run.

I guess I can keep hacking to see if I stumble upon the cause of my segmentation fault error in the domU..

Thanx...max

Hi Max,

I came to the conclusion that this doesn't work. I tried using a
specific 2.6.9 kernel (CentOS) and I don't think it is possible to patch
/"xenify" the kernel. As far as I have found it is only possible to
compile and "xenify" specific Linux kernels.

It meant that I couldn't use some hardware for which there is only a
closed source/binary driver.

Hope that speeds things up for you.

Cheers,
Julius.
