Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Problems after xen kernel upgrade
Thanks for your reply Fabian...

>ok, so your Dom0-Kernel is now 2.6.24-24 - right?

Yes

>Why? You don't have to use the same kernel in Dom0 and DomU. 

I guess I thought it would make sense to use the latest...

>Renaming the /lib/modules/X-dir would be like renaming your "Windows 
98"-dir to get "Windows Vista" 

Point well taken. What would be a better way to fix the errors?

Why? You don't have to use the same kernel in Dom0 and DomU.

Renaming the /lib/modules/X-dir would be like renaming your "Windows 
98"-dir to get "Windows Vista" ;)

Fabian
