RE: [Xen-users] Most stable Xen distro?
 
Hello,
Check out the CentOS 5.1 distro. It's been a dream for me.
I've tried a few so far - 
Fedora 8 & Xen Source 3.1/3.2 -> Major tweaks needed on my system
CentOS 5/5.1 -> No Problems at all
Ubuntu -> HVM Guests were laggy and using up way to much I/O
Give CentOS a shot. :)

Subject: [Xen-users] Most stable Xen distro?
Is there a consensus on which distro is the best for running a Xen dom0?
I have tried Debian Etch (Xen 3.0.3/2.4.18 kernel) but it was having 
problems with the domU's thinking the (virtual) hard drive was bad.
I upgraded to Xen 3.2 hypervisor and tools (Using Etch Backports) and 
that helped quite a bit (errors are not fatal but still there) but this 
left the kernel untouched and I assumed that it would be best to get a 
kernel compiled with the same version of hypervisor you are using.
I then tried Ubuntu Gutsy (Xen 3.1/2.6.22 kernel) but the domU guests 
hang while booting.
I would prefer a Debian Etch dom0 but will go with whatever works best.
So to clarify.. Is there a Xen distro package / Kernel package 
combination that works best?
I would consider compiling from scratch but I am not sure that would do 
any better.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
