Re: [Xen-users] Xen Linux Kernel Patching

Hello Xen Users!
I wanted to ask you something about custom xen kernel-creation and would be 
grateful for your answers. As I like to use current vanilla releases of the 
linux kernel and Xen officially uses the 2.6.16 series, but there are some more 
recent distirbution-kernels with Xen-support around (e.g. Debian, Fedora 7...) 
I was wondering whether integrating Xen in a newer kernel could be very 
difficult.
Yet I found almost nothing in Xen Docs about that topic, few around around the web 
(missed something like a "Xen Kernel Patching HOWTO") and had no success trying 
it on my own. So, is there an 'easy' way of creating a current, customized, xen-dom0 
linux-kernel - without completely rewriting the official xen kernel patches (which seem 
not to work with newer versions)?
   
 It's non-trivial: the Xen patches need to be tuned for specific kernels 
and specific versions of Xen, although this is becoming more main-stream 
all the time.
 Take a look at the source and patches for the Xen packages under Debian 
or RedHat or even www.xensource.com or  whatever to see how the 
packagers did it.
