Re: [Xen-users] building xen

Hi.

build/install the xen tools?  Are there likely to be problems with
this approach?

As I understand it, you have to patch the kernel to get Xen support - some distributions (at least Redhat and Ubuntu) offer Xen-patches for kernels up to 2.6.24, but I'm not sure how much of the distribution-specific kernel-patches (which are not in the mainline kernel) are needed to get Xen working.

I am experimenting with 2.6.24 and Xen at the moment, but there are still ("normal") kernel issues I have to look into before I can take a look at its Xen support.

If anyone has more experience, I'd gladly hear of it :)

Greetings,

Jens
